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.
If you do not have OEM grommets for your intercooler we sell them or you can obtain them at a local radiator shop - we DO NOT supply these in our kit!
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

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)

‘97 F350 7.3L INTERCOOLER BRACKET KIT
This is a well thought out and quality kit. I highly recommend this kit. I have several ‘97 F350 Crew Cabs with 7.3L PowerStrokes and intercoolers installed from other vendors like Banks. This build I used a E99 Spyder, and Carson Stauffer pipes. RDP boots, clamps, and plenum reinforcing rings. Still had room to add and fabricate my brackets for a PS/ Hydro cooler and Mag filter behind the grill without any additional cutting.

Extremely well built kit. Saved me many hours of fabricating my own brackets. Installed on a 97, 7.3 with a 5 speed. Used early 99 Spyder and Carson Stauffer pipes. Ordered boots and claps from riffraff

Love my truck and don’t like anything but OEM quality! This door seal kit with side window seals fit great and the wind noise is gone
In addition…
Nice quality with the tailgate product (brushed aluminum) skin I purchased!! They are a quality company…! I’ll keep aiming at you guys first and foremost
Insanely easy install. Totally fixes your derpy control bezel flopping around. Mine is nice and tight now. The YouTube video on it was very explanatory and it was totally worth it. Thanks!
If you think it's overpriced, either make your own or get a quote to have a body shop weld the holes and color match the paint. You'll find this is by far the cheapest option.
Nice material and the design is minimal so it doesn't clutter the appearance of the truck but provides a nice subtle and functional detail. Install was simple.

S&B Body mounts 97 F350 CCLB
These are a MUST. Cut down on road noise and noticeable engine vibration.
Old mounts were hard as a rock. These are 100% worth the money.

SD seats conversion kit
This kit is awesome. I was skeptical of the price at first, but after the ease of install and the great customer service, I would absolutely buy again. The install was easy, the hardware worked great, and the installation process was seamless with the 80-page PDF of photo instructions, as well as additional videos. Seats are solidly mounted
Great product.

OBS solutions has their shit together. They are fast when it comes to shipping parts as well as working on your truck. I had they change out my body mounts and it made a world of difference. Keep up the good work guys. 🤘
