Oil Cooler Lines

[pstrother]

HELP! I have a busted oil line from the engine to the oil cooler. The dealer couldn't help due to this being an 83 model 6.2 "C", but he did give me p/n's (discontinued). Question! Can anyone tell me which one is the inlet and which one is the outlet from the left rear case section. There is a high (position) and low (position) fitting if that helps. :rolleyes:

I can't help you with your question but I'll offer a temporary fix. Find some fuel line/rubber hose that'll fit over the line and double clamp both ends. That should get you going until you can replace the line. Good luck. John

i would check another dealer, i have asked a few local dealers in my area an they are still availaable for about $120 for the pair.

I got my replacement at NAPA a year ago for alot less than $120...

I've got an original set that didn't leak off of my '82 k5 with 130K miles. At least I couldn't tell they leaked with as much as the rest of the truck. Let me know if there are any parts you need.

hey you got any part #'s from those napa lines? I have never been able to find any aftermarket oil cooler lines.

thanks

Thanks for the offer of the old lines. I broke out the tubing cutter and the old flaring tool, ran down to the local Aeroquip Dealer and picked up 4 each 4414-8S male flare fittings,1290-8S nuts, 900605-8S sleeves and 3 feet of FC350-10 hose. Cleaned the steel tubing,treated with rusted converter and painted with high temp white paint. 1/2 hour later I was back in business with better than new hose assemblies, that I can repair in the field and the $60 a piece compression fitting hose are history. Total cost was $62. If someone can tell me if the fittings on the engine case are just threaded in and not attached to anything internal, there replacement and conversion to flare type fittings is a snap. :D
