Oil cooler lines

Anyone figure out a better solution?

It would help a great deal to get a good answer if you eluded to what in the world your talking about.

I'm under the assumption that he's looking for a better set of replacement lines for the CUCV.

You must be a mind reader patracy. With that title and verbiage, that could apply to almost any vehicle ever made with an automatic transmission. And some manuals also.
If in fact that's what it's in reference too.

 

[patracy]

Well I'm guessing honestly. The engine oil cooler lines are problematic on the CUCVs.

 

[Truckyea]

Well yes for my cucv! I would dropped in a 6.5 and would like to if anyone found a better solution to the fittings and lines

 

[patracy]

The problem isn't so much the block side, as you can get adapter to JIC/AN fittings. It's the stock cooler that has funky fittings that are specialized to the lines. The only real option is to delete that cooler completely and run the adapters on the block to JIC/AN then run an aftermarket cooler.

 

[Truckyea]

That's about all I have come up with also. I think I'm just going to run some 90's off the block, then braided line under the motor mount to the factory hard lines on the driver side. And just reuse those hard lines the crossover to the pass side of the rad.

My only problem is that the stock lines don't fit with the 6.5 driver side exhaust manifold and the funky route they take back, up the fire wall the down to frame ext.... No need for it

And so I mangled my upper line in the re power process

Derail makes an oil cooler kit .. has a 180 therm. With a min. Bypass in it it solved my problems check etrailer or summit.
.. However my oil pressure read way higher now that i unplug my cooler lines

I thought southdaves posts pretty much covered all bases.99% of guys on SS don't like to modify their cucvs.

 

[Truckyea]

Well that's no fun, I modify everything I drive "for the good"

 

[rsh4364]

Agreed !
