If you have a leaky oil cooler hose, don`t procrastinate thinking "I`ll do
it later". my lower hose at the oil cooler had been wet for a long time
but not dripping, so thought no big deal. took a trip rom CA to Dallas, Tx.
I was in Kingman, Az and it was getting real wet. well we made it home but it was starting to spray and make a mess. I replaced both hoses and
was surprised how soft the rubber on the new hoses is. the old ones were
hard as a rock, and had a date stamped 1984. really cooked.
the fitting on the oil cooler does not turn, but use a 7/8 open end to hold
it. and use a 1 1/6 for the oil cooler hose end. I made a flair nut wrench
out of a box wrench. and you will have to grind down the side of it to fit
next to the IP.

We are advised to NOT judge ALL Muslims by the actions of a few lunatics, but we are encouraged to judge ALL gun owners by the actions of a few lunatics. Funny how that works
