Re: NEED MTU OIL COOLER for 8v396
I needed two of these as well about two years ago. I ordered from two different aftermarket MFG's and neither time did they match up when they arrived. I ended up going to FDD and buying them. Big $$$ ! I have since found a place that can clean your existing coolers. While MTU doesn't recommend doing this I have had three sets cleaned in the past year with GREAT success. Since the units are made out of cooper nickel / Cupronickel and the strainer inside is stainless they can use a solution that doesn't hurt the cooler but removes and dirt or debris from the engine going down. The last set I had cleaned in July cost me just under $500, shipping included and was a 24 hour turn around. PM me for more information if you are interested.
