where to find used oil cooler radiator fittings?

just trying to plumb in an aux. oil cooler for a heavy towing job. I can't find an set of the fittings to screw into the radiator.

Do you already have the cooler? Most come with fittings.

It is the fittings into the radiator I need.

Do you need any of the alum line or just the male fitting on th end?

Engine oil or trans oil ?

The engine oil line. I need some aluminum to attach onto. More is better, of course.

As far as I can tell, the couplings your after were some goofy GM only thing.

This guy just cut them off, flanged the aluminum and used a regulat compression fitting.(edit: goofed the URL but you get the idea: cut tube, flare it and use compression fitting with proper adapters for your application)

If you really really need an adapter, you can try this guy: http://www.lubricationspecialist.com/gm-6.5td/6.6l-diesel/96-and-earlier-6.5td-oil-cooler-lines/

Not sure if his kits work wtih a 6.2 but might be worth an email to see if he could just sell you some couplings.

Or just use your aftermarket oil cooler. The factory one is just one bend of metal tube behind the fan shroud. There's no water-oil heat exchange or fins on the oil path back there.

Actually I just remembered: I found this guy that sells just an adapter.

Not sure if these work with the 6.2 or not but would be worth an email to the guy

I knew I had a couple lines that were cut but unfortunately the end you needed is gone.....sorry

Adding aux. oil cooler?

Any one done it, and how did you plumb it in?

Assume you taling about the ATF ??? if so use it as an after cooler.. on the return side trany line.
I think the line of thought, putting all the coolers in one radiator, was trany and engine oil would help bring the engine up to operating temp quicker.. however the trans runs alot hotter than engine and ect..

Nope, was talking about an oil cooler for the engine. Think I might use the cooler for hydraulic now, as I have a pump coming for a pending Np205 install.

Npt threaded 1/2 brass nipples... I use some earl AN fittings and 3/8 to after market oil cooler with thermostatic valve.. cost about 150 bucks for swap.. tired of messing with line..
I think I got from e trailer
