    You finally get that bad boy ready to go? Or just asphyxiating the neighbors cat with a plastic bag.

    Question reference the oil cooler lines.

    I am under the impression that the weak point in the OEM lines are the quick connect fittings. Did you do some modification at those points? What did you do to be able to add the braided lines? Modify OEM line end?
    I like the way they look.

    I made no modification to the quick disconnects. In my experience the lines are prone to leaking at the crimps between the rubber hose and hard line. The lines are cut, nut shaved down and an AN fitting welded to the quick disconnect.

    Everything is always for sale. :D

    The quick connect fittings are excellent and seldom leak. It's the factory crimps that leak.

    Well, the truck finally got to experience some fresh air. If you follow me on facebook, instagram or twitter you've already seen the video of it pulling out of the shop and the picture of it sitting outside. I will get them posted here later.
