Idea for oil cooler
While fooling around under the truck, and removing the engine. I had an idea with the engine oil cooler where the oil filter screws on. 2 heater hoses run to it from the lower radiator hose. 180 deg water pulling heat away from engine oil. Idea is route the intercooler lines to circulate through the oil cooler with water that is same temp as outside air. It will be adding more heat to the intercooler system but with a larger aftermarket exchanger I don't think will add enough to cause any detonation or pinging problems ,benifits are cooler oil is better! especially in AZ. All you would need to buy is a lower hose for an f150 without an engine oil cooler, new black heater hose longer to tie it in.
