Default Need new radiator, Can I install one with an oil cooler?? - 01-17-2008 , 07:33 PM






My radiator is cracked at the plastic housing on the drivers side. I
currently have it repaired with some JB weld. It is holding pretty
good but I know it will only last so long. My current radiator has the
tranny cooler lines on the passenger side. But I have seen in my
search for a new radiator that some come with an oil cooler on the
drivers side as well. Can I just reroute the remote filter lines? So
instead of just going to filter and then back to the engine, it goes
from the filter through the cooler, to the engine? Any thoughts?
Thanks

Sure, Just buy the oil lines to fit the application. You will need the
oil filter to cooler lines and a different filter mount.
