Oil cooler lines leaking fix (96-99 OBS Chevy Trucks)

[@TheGeneralMotorsGeezer-we3dg]

Correction/info 5/8 coarse thread to 1/2 OD medal tubing. Florida Hose and Rubber Part number C2404-08-06. They are great people.

The fittings worked perfectly, no leaks.

Was the 0-ring in factory fitting bad or gone.

@@martinadams6067 Gone. I hate the OEM connectors so I replaced them. Not a hard job to do. I won't have future issues. Thanks for watching.

Or u could just do away with them. Get the filter adapter and run the old school filter w/o the lines. I did it about 6/7 yrs ago and truck runs great.

@@bamabound9495 What engine? I still wanted to use the oil cooler. The connectors were easy to install.

[@bamabound9495]

​@TheGeneralMotorsGeezer-we3dg on a 94 350 tbi. Not positive but I think it's the same for vortecs. Regardless it cleans up the engine bay and no chance of leaking. Still alot of debate if the cooler is necessary. For me it's been working great and I'm gonna do it on my 95 k2500 next with same engine.

@bamabound9495 I am going to change the filter adapter on my 96 K1500 Cheyenne and use a old school 2 quart filter. It doesn't have a oil cooler. The oil cooler may help a little bit, I wanted to keep it stock.
