today we're working on a 2002 Ford f250
00:00:09.860 00:00:09.870 Super Duty with a 7.3 liter diesel in it
00:00:12.200 00:00:12.210 what we're going to be working on today
00:00:13.549 00:00:13.559 is going to be the oil cooler and of
00:00:16.189 00:00:16.199 course making sure we have the gaskets
00:00:18.019 00:00:18.029 to go with it so we're going to show you
00:00:19.640 00:00:19.650 a few tips and tricks on how to remove
00:00:22.040 00:00:22.050 the old oil cooler and reinstall the new
00:00:24.230 00:00:24.240 oil cooler using the tools that we have
00:00:25.910 00:00:25.920 and of course again the new gaskets
00:00:28.490 00:00:28.500 which is vital when you're working on a
00:00:29.900 00:00:29.910 job like this so we'll get started and
00:00:32.179 00:00:32.189 show you some of the the first steps of
00:00:33.889 00:00:33.899 getting this process done before we can
00:00:38.030 00:00:38.040 get started with the removal the old oil
00:00:40.970 00:00:40.980 cooler there's a few steps we're gonna
00:00:42.319 00:00:42.329 have to take we're gonna have to drain
00:00:44.240 00:00:44.250 the radiator fluid at the front of the
00:00:46.880 00:00:46.890 engine on the driver's side it's gonna
00:00:48.770 00:00:48.780 be at the bottom of the radiator there's
00:00:50.209 00:00:50.219 a drain valve there for you then we're
00:00:52.729 00:00:52.739 also going to have to drain the oil
00:00:54.160 00:00:54.170 remove the oil filter and then
00:00:58.130 00:00:58.140 disconnect our block heater up here
00:01:00.889 00:01:00.899 those would be the first steps involved
00:01:03.139 00:01:03.149 and getting this part removed so drain
00:01:05.960 00:01:05.970 the oil drain the coolant and then we'll
00:01:08.270 00:01:08.280 get on to the next steps now that we
00:01:11.660 00:01:11.670 have our oil drained and our oil filter
00:01:13.940 00:01:13.950 off we're also gonna have to drain the
00:01:15.770 00:01:15.780 remainder of the antifreeze that's
00:01:17.539 00:01:17.549 sitting at the block here so just above
00:01:19.999 00:01:20.009 where you pulled the oil filter off
00:01:22.179 00:01:22.189 you're gonna find a plug right here make
00:01:27.020 00:01:27.030 sure you have a catch pan ready because
00:01:28.460 00:01:28.470 that's gonna dump anywhere between two
00:01:30.740 00:01:30.750 two and a half three gallons of
00:01:32.060 00:01:32.070 antifreeze out so have your catch pan
00:01:34.460 00:01:34.470 ready to go pull that plug let that
00:01:36.740 00:01:36.750 antifreeze drain and then you're on to
00:01:38.719 00:01:38.729 the next steps which you're going to be
00:01:41.020 00:01:41.030 removing the bolts from the oil filter
00:01:43.490 00:01:43.500 housing you have one up top here and in
00:01:45.950 00:01:45.960 the back we have one back here and then
00:01:49.039 00:01:49.049 a little bit further up one back here
00:01:50.749 00:01:50.759 you'll want to keep that catch pan
00:01:52.990 00:01:53.000 readily available because once you pull
00:01:56.090 00:01:56.100 those bolts and break this oil filter
00:01:58.789 00:01:58.799 housing free from its mount you're gonna
00:02:00.950 00:02:00.960 have a little bit of antifreeze come out
00:02:02.420 00:02:02.430 from there as well so make sure that
00:02:04.190 00:02:04.200 catch pan is ready and you'll have all
00:02:06.170 00:02:06.180 the antifreeze and one spot vs all over
00:02:08.900 00:02:08.910 the floor and then we can move on to the
00:02:10.609 00:02:10.619 next steps
00:02:13.150 00:02:13.160 now that we've got our three bolts loose
00:02:15.670 00:02:15.680 when we've went ahead and left the rest
00:02:17.780 00:02:17.790 of that radiator fluid they had a freeze
00:02:19.280 00:02:19.290 drain out we're just gonna have to
00:02:21.500 00:02:21.510 basically break the oil pump housing
00:02:26.600 00:02:26.610 free from its base
00:02:28.580 00:02:28.590 we'll use a pry bar just get right in
00:02:31.640 00:02:31.650 behind it just give it a little bit of a
00:02:35.840 00:02:35.850 tug and there we go and once we have the
00:02:46.280 00:02:46.290 oil filter housing broken free we can
00:02:50.000 00:02:50.010 then go right up on to the oil cooler
00:02:54.850 00:02:54.860 press a couple times there and we should
00:02:59.450 00:02:59.460 be able to just pull the rough out there
00:03:07.940 00:03:07.950 we have it once you have the old oil
00:03:12.440 00:03:12.450 cooler removed along with the filter
00:03:14.510 00:03:14.520 housing just take a pry bar you'll
00:03:18.710 00:03:18.720 notice that there's a line in the
00:03:20.630 00:03:20.640 housing here get in between the notch of
00:03:23.630 00:03:23.640 the oil cooler in that housing you'll
00:03:27.440 00:03:27.450 just gently budge and you'll notice that
00:03:35.000 00:03:35.010 the cooler will start sliding out
00:03:50.720 00:03:50.730 once you have the oil cooler and oil
00:03:53.910 00:03:53.920 filter housing off from the backside
00:03:55.860 00:03:55.870 you're gonna come to the front side of
00:03:57.660 00:03:57.670 the motor and this is a little bit more
00:03:58.890 00:03:58.900 difficult to get to but if you remove
00:04:02.700 00:04:02.710 your bottom radiator hose here you'll be
00:04:06.210 00:04:06.220 able to see the housing which is right
00:04:07.800 00:04:07.810 here you have one bolt here I've already
00:04:10.560 00:04:10.570 broken that free so you can see and then
00:04:13.260 00:04:13.270 on the other side of that there's
00:04:14.340 00:04:14.350 another bolt they're both going to be
00:04:15.510 00:04:15.520 ten millimeter once you remove those two
00:04:18.090 00:04:18.100 bolts you can pull that front side of
00:04:20.130 00:04:20.140 the housing right out through this hole
00:04:22.050 00:04:22.060 that way we can get the new gasket on
00:04:25.080 00:04:25.090 its mounting plate over here now that we
00:04:28.740 00:04:28.750 have the whole oil cooler assembly
00:04:29.970 00:04:29.980 removed we can now begin installing the
00:04:32.550 00:04:32.560 new oil cooler itself now before we can
00:04:35.310 00:04:35.320 do that we need to make sure that we
00:04:37.350 00:04:37.360 clean up all of our mounting surfaces on
00:04:39.180 00:04:39.190 both the oil cooler filter housing as
00:04:41.550 00:04:41.560 well as the front housing of the oil
00:04:43.410 00:04:43.420 cooler and I will make this one note
00:04:45.240 00:04:45.250 when I removed both the oil filter
00:04:47.310 00:04:47.320 housing and the front housing the
00:04:49.260 00:04:49.270 gaskets did not come with them so I had
00:04:51.960 00:04:51.970 to go back and remove those gaskets from
00:04:54.360 00:04:54.370 their mounting area make sure you do
00:04:56.220 00:04:56.230 that and make sure those gaskets do come
00:04:57.810 00:04:57.820 off because you don't want to have a
00:04:58.950 00:04:58.960 situation where you double gasket that's
00:05:01.710 00:05:01.720 just a a quick way for you to have a lot
00:05:04.470 00:05:04.480 of leaks and a lot of problems coming up
00:05:05.910 00:05:05.920 so now that we have our new oil cooler
00:05:08.040 00:05:08.050 we've installed both our bottom and top
00:05:11.640 00:05:11.650 o rings on both sides and the way we
00:05:14.760 00:05:14.770 want to put these in after we've gotten
00:05:16.140 00:05:16.150 everything cleaned up and ready for
00:05:17.280 00:05:17.290 reinstallation you don't want to put a
00:05:19.530 00:05:19.540 lot of pressure on these housings these
00:05:21.810 00:05:21.820 are just soft aluminum so will put our
00:05:25.200 00:05:25.210 oil cooler in position match it up with
00:05:27.570 00:05:27.580 the notch here along with our tab and
00:05:31.320 00:05:31.330 we're just going to smack that in with a
00:05:33.000 00:05:33.010 rubber mallet holding the actual housing
00:05:36.570 00:05:36.580 itself you don't want to put this on the
00:05:38.640 00:05:38.650 floor or anywhere where it can get
00:05:40.020 00:05:40.030 cracked so you'll just slip the cooler
00:05:42.810 00:05:42.820 itself into a spot lining up the notch
00:05:46.020 00:05:46.030 and just give it a couple of light taps
00:05:48.210 00:05:48.220 with that rubber mallet and it will pop
00:05:50.340 00:05:50.350 right in for you
00:05:52.920 00:05:52.930 we don't have the cooler back in place
00:05:55.140 00:05:55.150 and a little tip I learned it's actually
00:05:56.969 00:05:56.979 a lot easier just to reinstall the front
00:05:59.400 00:05:59.410 mount first get that gasket in place and
00:06:01.800 00:06:01.810 those bolts down and then we can just
00:06:03.990 00:06:04.000 take the oil cooler and slide it through
00:06:06.060 00:06:06.070 and when we get it to meet up to that
00:06:08.790 00:06:08.800 front mount and take this pry bar and go
00:06:11.790 00:06:11.800 in between the cooler and the exhaust
00:06:13.740 00:06:13.750 and that'll actually slip it right into
00:06:16.050 00:06:16.060 place right there at the front mount now
00:06:18.990 00:06:19.000 be sure you make sure you get your new
00:06:22.260 00:06:22.270 gasket installed and you want to make
00:06:24.570 00:06:24.580 sure that that goes over the heater coil
00:06:28.770 00:06:28.780 first then you can get that lined up
00:06:31.320 00:06:31.330 with the bolt holes get your bolts put
00:06:33.629 00:06:33.639 back in place
00:06:34.230 00:06:34.240 get those torqued down and it's actually
00:06:37.350 00:06:37.360 a very easy install once you get those
00:06:39.090 00:06:39.100 few things taken care of all we like now
00:06:41.700 00:06:41.710 is reinstalling our heater plug getting
00:06:46.589 00:06:46.599 our antifreeze plug put back in up here
00:06:48.960 00:06:48.970 where we drain the rest of that
00:06:50.219 00:06:50.229 antifreeze then we'll go ahead and fill
00:06:53.730 00:06:53.740 up the oil filter put a new oil filter
00:06:56.550 00:06:56.560 on refill that antifreeze and then we'll
00:07:00.089 00:07:00.099 just check for leaks and make sure that
00:07:01.469 00:07:01.479 everything's sealed up nice and tight
00:07:02.969 00:07:02.979 and after that we've done the oil cooler
00:07:05.850 00:07:05.860 on this truck and hopefully now you have
00:07:08.339 00:07:08.349 a better understanding of what it does
00:07:09.659 00:07:09.669 take to get the oil cooler taken care of
00:07:11.820 00:07:11.830 and take it out reinstalled and having
00:07:14.939 00:07:14.949 this truck back up and running in no
00:07:15.990 00:07:16.000 time
00:07:25.839 00:07:25.849 you
