Re: Oil cooler lines
or could I just cut the line and put high pressure hoses on the aluminum part and clamp it with fuel injection hose clamps

Re: Oil cooler lines
got tired of a leaky stock system, replaced my lines with braided stainless hoses ($35), assorted fittings ($20) & an aluminum cooler ($65)

Re: Oil cooler lines
i did this exact thing with my stepside, one prob did show up, i attached my lines to the cooler like you did, driving down the road one day, line came off & dumped all 5 quarts all over the truck. did like you did & double clamped, a week later, same dam thing, line came off again & dumped all my oil again. finally put a flare on the cooler lines & have not had a prob with them coming off anymore
