The crossover pipes on a 7.3 Ford diesel engine are the pipes connecting the exhaust manifolds to the turbo compressor inlet.
it is on the driver's side of the vehicle behind the exhaust crossover pipe. follow the radiator hose from the radiator to the engine on the driver's side. removal of the crossover pipe would be best but it can be down without removing the crossover pipe. if you choose not to remove the crossover pipe, it will be considerably harder. you will have to use a cresent ( adjustable) wrench to loosen the bolts on the thermostat housing and you will not be able to see the bottom bolt or gasket. you will be working blind.
In the exhaust pipe in front of the catalytic converter...close to engine in crossover pipe
On the lower intake by the crossover pipe for the exhaust
No they can have a crossover pipe joining both sides together. Then one pipe running back the auto.
NO
under the exhaust crossover pipe and yes it's a pain

head gaskets are probably bad and leaking oil onto crossover pipe .
It is the pipe that starts from your front manifold and crosses from right to left and the pipe continues to the back where it bends down to connect to your CAT converter. Hope that helps.
If it is like my 2000 Malibu V6, this housing is located behind the exhaust crossover pipe. This is the pipe from the front exhaust manifold to the rear exhaust manifold. If you remove the air intake ducts and and airflow meter, you will get a better view of the housing, the top radiator hose is attached to it. If you remove the exhaust crossover pipe, it will be a lot easier to remove this housing. I believe you can remove the housing without removing the crossover pipe, but it will be a little trickier, especially upon installaltion. The bolt sizes are either 10mm or 8mm, don't exactly recall. The bolt sizes on the exhaust crossover are 13mm, a deep socket is needed here.
if the car is a 95 and up, it under the exhaust crossover pipe
it is located next to the crossover pipe for the exhaust. you have to remove it to get to the thermostat housing.
