Happy new year to all.
I have an oil leak which is progressively getting worse from the engine oil cooler hoses on my 96 K1500 6.5 Suburban. I've always blamed the use of alloy/aluminum parts which I believe are too soft to hold and seal for long term use and must have made GM a small fortune in sales over the years that owners have been replacing them.
Does anyone know of a supplier who can supply a ready to install kit including hoses (with steel not aluminum connections) and connectors with the correct threads to replace GM crap?
I would normally just go to a hose supplier and get something made up as I have done in the past back in Scotland with the 6.2's that I have owned but don't have the time to mess about and would prefer if it is possible to get a ready to install kit for the Suburban.
Thank you in anticipation of any replies.
