Starter shim?

[thinger2]

That was my problem. Couldn't unscrew one of the nuts holding the tube. I was replacing the radiator, not any of the oil cooler plumbing. I had to cut the one tube to get the rad out.

What you have pictured isn't the cooler. The cooler is inside the radiator.

The metal lump in your photo is just the adapter that diverts the oil to (and from) the cooler--not the cooler itself.

Well aint you a special kid.
Do you feel better now?
I am a very sociable guy.
I really dig meeting new people and hanging out and telling each other our different stories and finding things we have in common and bonding over years and decades and just becoming deep heart felt part of your soul friends.
People, sometimes random people that just pop up from noplace and thirty years go buy.
And you end up at their little kids wedding.
And there you are, all mid aged old as ****.
You really have stuffed yourself into a corner.
You are now the grim rotten old **** you guy.

I do not believe that at all
That, you old strange **** is the oil cooler and its lines that I pulled out of my truck and,
All freak ass crazy as it sounds.
Thats just how I did it.
Nobody popped up looking for your "gotcha"
I have an idea, how about you try to help people instead of trying to make yourself feel better.
Be a man and own up to your bullshit or be a boy and cry.
Either way, You are not going to do it with me.

Old...strange? Have you no respect for dyed hair?

So...you think...the coolant from the radiator flows back to the oil filter adapter? The oil is cooled in the adapter?

Not unheard of. Some GM coolers genuinely do work that way. The ones on my Luminas, for example. And some older Corvettes have worked that way. There's a heat exchanger between the block and the oil filter, plumbed into the cooling system. Probably some other applications I don't remember offhand.

But not in this case. When those hoses leak, they leak oil, not coolant. The cooler is in the radiator, just like the trans cooler in the other tank. Your metal lump is just the valve-and-passage system that diverts oil TO (and from) the cooler, via those leaky hoses, and to/from the oil filter.

Zoom it in babe, that is the cooler itself
And the rig that goes with it.
Stem to stern thats all you get.
They dont have a cooler, it runs through the radiator.
I only know this because I yarded that whole ****** out from under 2 trucks now.
And laid it on the ground and posted a picture of it and you dont believe it.
Yer a ******* loon.
Its on the ground with a picture of it intact in one piece
Because you can do it just the way I described you whack.
I have never encountered someone so negative and defeatist.
You have amazing knowledge about these things.
I know that I am an opianated loudmouth

But, you have a pretty well respected voice on this forum.
And, with that said.
You probably need some cookies.
And maybe a kitten.
And maybe a big bong hit
And a pizza
And a box of chill

How are two people who agree with each other arguing this hard?

WTF? The only thing you have pictured is the adapter and the oil lines. As stated the actual cooler is in the radiator.

...and gotten that far off-topic.

Just lucky, I guess.

When I had the engine out of my Suburban, I pulled the remote oil filter adapter, lines, and the radiator. The radiator was junk, so I pulled the plastic end tanks off and REMOVED THE OIL COOLER FROM THE RADIATOR. Your oil cooler is absolutely in the radiator, just like the transmission cooler. The only difference is that the trans cooler is one row thicker, and has smaller fittings.

I even have them sitting on a shelf in the garage in case I ever get around to redneckineering an oil cooler for the hydrostatic drive in my lawnmower.

Given my recent experience with the hydrostatic transaxle in Mister John Deere, (originally a K46, now a K57. Yeah, I've even got to upgrade the riding lawnmower! It's a sickness.) That's a wonderful idea. Downside is that I have no idea how to plumb the thing in--I don't think my low-budget transaxle has in and out ports. I've still got the rad I yanked out of the K2500--and therefore both coolers.

I'm going to have to apologize to the OP. This thread is WAY off track.

Steven Petersen:
Sorry for thread-crapping, dude. I hope you got what you needed from it.

Gotta pass on the cookies and bong hit.

I'm good on the others, though.

Thats awesome. How in the hell do you sleep at night with all of those cats walking over your head and biting your toes?
And, how much money have you spent on window blinds and charging cords?
I think thats pretty cool my fellow cat guy.
