Water and oil cooler on 2 single conversion

Hello everybody.

Shortly to me:
My name is Thorsten, am fresh 40 years old and live almost in the middle (by Kassel) Germany.
For about 3 weeks owned a M1008 in sand color.

Now the first problems and errors have already occurred.
Water in the footwell of the passenger, but I found ... it was the seal of the ventilation flap.
The radiator loses water, it is also visible where it loses.

I will have it removed and repaired, soldered.

Since now a new cooler with us is very expensive (500 - 600 euros), I have already thought 2 individual radiators to mount.

Perhaps someone has already made the conversion?
If so, what coolers are recommended?
Size, heat output, etc.?

Sorry for the bad english, I just use goggle to translate .... "rolleyes"


Already times thank you for tips and hints or even ideas

Welcome to the forum. Did your truck come without a radiator. Are you trying to install 2 different radiators; 1 for the engine coolant, and the other for automatic transmission fluid? Or are you planning on installing a completely separate radiator/cooler for engine oil?

Good Morning.

I will upload pictures on occasion.

No, it's already installed a water cooler ... :) ... the originals
But that is broken, loses cooling water.

The idea was to separate the coolers from each other, to install only cooler.
Perhaps this would have been more favorable.

I saw yesterday during the removal, the engine oil and gear oil run through the radiator.
Thought, only transmission oil runs through.
So it would have to be installed 3 single coolers.

Well ... I expanded it yesterday and brought this morning to a radiator company.
Repair is not worth it, now it is used a completely new net, is tested for leaks and re-varnished.
Now costs more than a new, matching cooler, but it is not a plastic / aluminum trash as it is the modern coolers.


Peter, I know, I was already.
Basically, this is the biggest scrap yard for Army things.
Ordinary work do not make the guys synonymous there ... German says "Pfusch"
