Bought a lightning motor now what? help?
What year truck did it come off of?
99 to 2000 are the ones they had problems with.
Looks the same as this 01 intercooler to me. And I count 10 rows.

This is off of a 2000 but I am wondering if there is a way to make sure its had the intercooler factory upgrade or (TSB) done?

the leaky ones had 9 rows and the upgraded ones had 10, it appears to be the upgrade but it needs cleaned for sure before it goes in, and that ladies and gentlemen is why you need to run an oil seperator
I cleaned the entire upper and lower intake,eaton and intercooler today and yes a oil seperator will be going on before startup. How do I find out for sure if this is ok? Just dumping a ton of cash into this project and need to make sure its ok...?
Just called svt and they said there is no way to tell unless I have the VIN from the truck it came out of so I think im just going to do a quick pressure test run it.... Thanks again guys!
Ok so the motor is bolted in but I did notice that the L oil cooler does not allow enough space for a oil filer to go on. What is the fix for this ? filter relocation on remove the cooler? Thanks Dave
The L oil cooler landed right on the front driveshaft so I removed the oil cooler and will use it down the road when I relocate the filter. Almost done with the install and then need to make a decision on the tune. Troyer ect...?
