I fixed a customers 6.5 that had A DIY install of one of these oil cooler line and cooler kits not sure of the vendor he paid about 225 he said and I ended up with the rework. He neglected to replace filter adapter o rings and also gouged one of the fittingd right on the tapered portion causing a leak, local tractor shop had the fitting and I got it all done for him. Oh forgot to tell you he had some napa factory style lines in the bed new but all dicked up from a hack job install!!!

replacing oil cooler lines, keeping oil cooler

In the 800 plus kits sold I have had a dozen with issues. However the problem was with the cooler at the fittings. Seem that threading of the coolers is not always consistent. Did have one or two lines that leaked where they are crimped. So all in all its about a .02% failure rate.
I love to talk with those that are capable because often times I can pickup a bit of knowledge.

Just make sure you put the Oil cooler in the right way. it will mount either way but the grill won't fit. Ask me how I know...

Not just a truck... a project.
That is actually a 1.5% failure rate, but still not bad
no. it would be 1.5% with issues. He cited 2 failures in crimps. That is a .02% failure rate.

Correct, decimal in the wrong place.
