Update! I rebuilt my old oil cooler hoses from the lines I had. Here's a little rundown: I picked up two of these caps at Lowes. They're half-inch, but I'm not sure what the threading is. They fit, though. I just used them to plug the filter housing in case the oil decided to try finding it's...

Hey aren't we second cousins? Just kidding around. My old one's are in good shape except for the crimps. That's why I'm thinking if I can get my C-note back from Amazon.com, I'll be better off hose clamping some good hydraulic hose on these old ones. That was my first instinct (after you...

I'll give it one more shot before sending them back. I tried several times bending it while they were attached. I even rigged up a nylon rope and a come-along to pull it back into place so I could get the P-clip on it. No dice. I had a feeling there was going to be an issue when I lined it up...

I compared them to the old ones before putting them on, marked them both. And one of them fits fine. The other one would touch the shifter linkage no matter which port you put it on. I wish I could cut off a half inch and re-flare it, but that's beyond me.

Well, I finally got time to install the new lines today, and one of them just doesn't fit. The one that goes from the top position at the radiator to the rear port on the filter housing sticks out to far to install the clip back on it. I tried everything including bending it in place. Compared...

I never even got to the engine sides of the hoses. I was trying to take them off at the radiator end first so I could prop them up and drain as much of the oil out of the line and back into the engine as possible. Hoping the engine side won't be as bad since it's up against the filter housing.

Yeah, they're the Delcos (both made in China in my case). I got them on Amazon. I had an hour or so saturday to work on it, but I couldn't get one of the old ones off. I got the top one at the radiator end off, but the bottom one is stuck on there good. I gotta go get some PB Blaster or...

Got these in today. I'm hoping to have an hour or so this weekend to get them installed. I'll report back when I do.

Do you happen to still have the part number so I can be sure I get the right ones if I go that route. I'm leaning toward cucvrus's fix, but if it's an easy install I might order the AC Delcos. By the way, do you have to drain any oil to install new hoses?
