MegaCrimp® couplings give you a leak-proof seal that’s so innovative, it’s patented. It’s what’s inside the MegaCrimp coupling that makes it perform so well, the "C" insert. This "C" insert allows usage with different constructions and wall thickness. In addition, the "C" insert ensures an even distribution of crimping forces to form a concentric seal. That simplifies your inventory requirements since one size can accommodate many different hose ODs, on both one and two-wire hoses. An additional bonus: MegaCrimp couplings are a fully qualified EN-performance coupling.

Another real-world fix is very thorough

Thank you Paul

[@Toddderose]

Thanks for the video Kevin, very detailed and straight forward. My oil coolers lines, or 1 of them just started to leak on me. Looks like I will be doing some investigating and may be a similar repair as you guys did here.

Have the right equipment you can make about anything

Kevin - On the connection to the oil cooler where the two lines are held in place with the 15mm bolt, do you have a recommendation to hold that connection snugly so it does not twist as you apply torque to loosen the bolt? I wanted to replace those seals but when I tried to loosen the bolt, I noticed it was applying pressure to the cooler lines.

Kevin, what was the name of the book you were looking at in this video? Looks like it may have some good info regarding the 8.1L. Is that a Chilton or Haynes manual or what? Thanks!

[@ktoutdoor]

This is a great book. amzn.to/43SpfKj

More peace of mind for Kevin! On an unrelated subject....when you dropped your fuel tank, did you ever come across the fuel tank pressure sensor? It should be part of the EVAP system that signals to the ECM. Thanks Kev!!!

[@ktoutdoor]

I just re checked we have no FTP only 4 wires to the fuel pump 2 for pump 2 for fuel gauge. i looked at the evap canisters and there are no wires there ether. see this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/pWnNZ56Ojdd3nqMsi=5s1SOaS8Y8X0R96V
