Pm's sent. Below is the updated list. If you are interested please let me know. As of right now, it looks like we will be building these. We are working to revise the design slightly to reduce the cost some. Please let me know if you have any questions and/or would like additional info.

Put my name on the list. I don't get the need for PM's though. Also, would you please decribe the major components? Are we talking a finned cooler (stainless, big, I get it) Fan assisted?, plumbing Braided lines? and how about a one or two additional inline filters pitstop? Forgive my ignorance if that is the whole purpose of this to also eliminate the oil filter on top of engine, but doing both in this endeavor is desireable correct?
What's the benefit? (besides the obvious never having to deal with the one from Ford atop the engine again) Drop in oil temp of.... 20 degrees?
Sure, the factory oil cooler works very well. I think we can all agree there. The oil and coolant are usually within a few degrees of each other. The issues isn't its effectiveness, it is the failures that happen.
So, what we have been doing is making an oil/coolant cooler out of stainless. There is no issue with failure and yet we are able to keep the oil to coolant temperatures very close. The cooler is removed from the engine and mounted inside of the bumper out of the way. There are a couple of reasons we did this. First, by changing the material to stainless, we needed to increase the size of the cooler and there wasn’t room. Second and a by-product of the first, we are able to increase the capacity of the high pressure oil pump reservoir.
We are not putting a huge radiator in the front grill. By doing that, you are adding heat into the ac system and intercooler. In the winter time, you can risk packing the radiator with ice and causing your oil to never heat up properly and in the summer, the air conditioning system doesn’t cool the cab very well.
After exchanging pm’s and talking to a couple of people, we are going to be combining our oil / fuel filter delete kit with this.

Keep Me First
I think for this go around, it would be best if everyone already had an EGR delete.
...I would, also, prefer everyone to have a stand alone fuel system (FASS, AirDog or Aftermarket fuel system)
