dormans 6.0 oil cooler gasket

[fordmansteven]

my 2006 f-350 6.0 was giving me problems. it would start and run for 15 sec then die the only way I could keep it running was to keep my foot on the gas. after I did that it would run fine the rest of the day, next morning the same thing would happen. we found the problem to be the oil cooler housing gasket made my dorman. it had come apart and stopped the screen up to the hopop so beware of dormans oil cooler gasket

I had issues with the one oil cooer of theirs I installed also. Lesson learned. OEM only.

I have changed mine to the bullet proof oil cooler and they use the oem gasket but like you said oem all the way

I passed this on to a friend who works at Dorman

You know we could get a really killer deal on Dorman oil coolers for stud jobs, and make a decent profit. But we were not willing to stray away from OEM and let our customers be the guinea pig if the quality wasn't the same. I'm glad we did because we would have ate a lot of loss in warranty work to completely redo those. Thats a mess from some of the pictures I've seen.

Not the first I've heard of their gaskets failing on these.

Yes, PMM is the old Cobbs, biggest rip off company I've seen in the industry to date. Just do a google search for Cobbs Diesel and read all you want. I wouldn't expect them to do anything.
