    Hey all,

    My Oil cooler sprung a leak today and wanted to know what my options are. Is there a after market one or do I have to find a used one?
    Thanks,
    Bryan

    A used one is a good option.

    You can have the leak fixed at a Radiator Shop.
    They remove the Cooling Fins around the Leak and Braze the Leak.

    If the Leak is where the Hoses attach to the Cooler Adapter.
    You may only need a Dollars worth of O-Rings!!!

    Rick it looks like it is above the adapter. I May take it to the local radiator shop maybe they could fix it.
    Thanks

    Them Hoses are getting to be hard to find.

    You can get NEW Hoses -- "Made-Up" from your Old Hoses and Fittings at a Truck Service Center that does repairs on Snow Plow and Hydraulic Equipment.

    Having the two Special Hose Ends that bolt to the Oil Cooler Adapter is key.

    If the weather is not too hot, convert it to run without the oil cooler as a temp fix.
