aluminum oil cooler lines...Where to buy?

[ajsmith184]

I am talking about the upper one that threads into the radiator....Mine didnt want to come out and got damaged...GM Part number 14061344. Dealer says no stock, no dealers have it, unavailable....Where to get one? Cant even locate any used ones

Try these guys? http://parts.nalleygmc.com/products/Chevrolet/BLAZER/PIPE-Engine-Oil-Cooler/2687463/14061344.html

Probably just haven't updated their database, but you never know if they have one on the shelf or something...worth a call right?

 

[ajsmith184]

Yeah, did that...Somehow google pulls them up..they said the same thing

One idea is to use ebay, and have them send you an email when anything with that part number is posted. A lot of what I see being sold on there for our trucks seems to be from people who cleaned out dealers who closed up, or from military surplus.

May have to wait awhile, or forever, but it's not a bad option IF you can wait.

Yeah I found some NOS ones that sold on ebay two days ago..Figures...

managed to locate some used ones from hillbillywizard for $25+ shipping..No complaints, assuming they are as advertised on arrival.

If you are talking the aluminum and rubber lines that go from just above the oil filter in the block to the left side radiator. Try these numbers.

Just so everyone out there with a 6.2 knows, the two Dorman hoses, Part # 265-154 and 265-155 are the correct hoses and fit correctly. You can use the rear clamp off the manifold to hold them like the originals.

You can also post wanted adds on this site and people like me will typically have the parts...

Out of curiousity, any reason you wanted to replace the aluminum/rubber lines with like, instead of replacing with just a custom rubber line?

I got tired of mine leaking all the time, had a fitting place make me up a couple of high temp rubber lines with the appropriate fittings. Work great, one piece so no leaks. Seemed much easier...

Long overdue update..Its all set, hillbilly wizard had the parts and everything worked out good
