This kit is intended to ONLY fit 1992-97 F-250/350 trucks with DIESEL engine core supports. It WILL NOT FIT a gas engine core support. You can replace your existing gas core support with a diesel unit to allow fitment of our kit onto your truck if necessary. 2WD trucks cannot retain front sway bar with this kit due to clearance issues.
This kit is designed to ONLY work with the 1999-2003 Ford 7.3 Powerstroke OEM/Aftermarket Intercooler OR the Icebox Performance 1992-1997 F-250/350 Aluminum Intercooler.
We now offer this kit with Satin Black Powder Coat. Check out the drop down menu when ordering.
If you do not have OEM grommets for your intercooler please select (add intercooler bushings) from the drop down menu.
We designed this kit to work exclusively with Obsession Diesel Performance 7.3 Powerstroke Diesel T4 Turbo Kit and Stock Turbo Piping Kit. The stock 1999-2003 Superduty 7.3 Intercooler Piping and intake spider can be used, but the piping will need to be modified to work correctly.
This bracket kit will also work with the popular Cummins, International and other diesel conversions. However, we do not offer piping solutions for those applications at this time.
Automatic Transmission Applications:
Our kit is designed to only work with the 2003-2007 Ford 6.0 Powerstroke transmission cooler. Either stock or aftermarket will fit with our brackets. We highly recommend this upgrade, so much in fact that we didn’t design our kit to use anything else. The OEM 1992-97 F-Series stock transmission cooler is inadequate and a necessary upgrade for achieving optimum performance and reliability out of your automatic transmission. We do not offer technical support for using the stock transmission cooler or any other units.
For those of you looking for performace data, here's some 3rd party dyno testing that was done on a 94-97 F-250 7.3 Powerstroke with 145k miles by Jacob White at Diesel World Magazine.
Data from a 3rd Gear, T/C locked pull. 45-70mph
Truck has a CSF 7.3 Intercooler, Obsession Diesel Performace Stock Turbo Piping Kit, OBS Solutions Mounting Brackets, 180/30 injectors, stock turbo with 1.0 housing, 3" downpipe/4" exhaust, DIY big filter intake
Before Intercooler
Peak EGT's 1633-degrees
Charge Air at 339-degrees (this is going into the cylinder heads)
Boost 28-psi
Fuel pressure drops to 32-psi and ICP held at 2800-psi, 2.6ms PW
After Intercooler (CSF)
Peak EGT's 1365-degrees
Charge Air at 106-degrees (less than a 5-degree swing from start of the run)
Boost at 24-psi
Fuel pressure drops to 32-psi, ICP at 2800-psi with 2.6ms PW
Other notable, with the IC installed, charge air temp averages around 25-35 degrees over ambient during daily driving. Without I/C this temp varies drastically.
Great product, although it's a little expensive for a couple brackets a d some bolts your buying yourself some time as they have figured out how to stack everything nice together nice and tight the first time. Only reason i didn't give it 5 starts is because i had to make new brackets to mount my a/c condensor as none of the replacement ones on rock auto or locally at the parts store would work with the mount.

Grey product
I used these on my 91 f350 when putting a 7.3 powerstroke in with intercooler and 6.0 trans cooler and everything fit properly and made the install so much easier

This product is amazing, super clean, super easy to install it. Absolutely recommend to anybody with an OBS trying to put it in an intercooler made the whole process easy
This step makes it easy for me to get into the bed of my 1995 F250 2wd. Instructions were easy to follow, 20 minutes start to finish!! Looks great and does what I want. Picked it up Friday at the NO BS OBS Truck Show. Thanks for organizing the show and for the terrific parts!

Best OBS step available
These steps look the best imo, and there's no denying the quality of the design and materials. They are extremely robust, and should last a lifetime, while also being very sturdy compared to the hoop steps. Cost is the only con, but I'm sure r&d plus fabrication wasn't cheap, and I'm happy supporting OBS Solutions!

Excellent Quality. Super Easy to Instal
Very impressed with these lights both in quality and ease of install. They’re WAY brighter than the old lights. They plug in to the original bulb socket perfectly. The instructions are easy to follow. Can’t say enough good about them!

Very legit spring replacement option
The truck I just bought was missing its hood springs. This is a far better option than tracking down a new set and rolling the dice on if they’d be in good shape. Parts arrived well packed and were shipped quickly. The install was super smooth with the slick little template provided. They attach firmly and open smoothly. Way better than some generic kit with tiny brackets and pop rivets. The guys are killing the game with their innovation and quality!!

Skookum choochers!!
Another hit from the folks at OBS solutions. These swing locks are the nicest parts I’ve seen on the market. I felt like a heathen bolting cheap mirror heads onto them. Well packaged, quickly shipped and excellent installation instructions. If your truck has swing locks or Nemo mirrors, this is the kit you need!
