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.
Fantastic quality. The piece was packaged very securely so the grain on the raw aluminum was perfect so scratches of any kind. Shipping was very fast as well. I used shark hide metal protectant on it to protect the finish. Ive had really good success with that on an LJ I had with raw aluminum panels on it. Even drove it in Colorado winters and it protected the finish great.

Quiet in the cab
The fit is perfect for my cclb dually which also has a fiberglass body kit on it. No drone and very quiet in-cab. Sounds great when you get on the throttle

William Beck
Great Kit!
These rocker guards do a shockingly good job of keeping rocks and mud etc off the rockers. Especially with stock offset wheels. The video instructions are great, and the fit on these is excellent. I've torn the fronts off on accident a few times, and I'll keep buying replacements. They just work that well.

Rear bed step.
Absolutely a need. The step makes it so easy to step in to the bed. Installation was a breeze. I have to say again, A+ on the shipping.

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.
