Default blown oil cooler and P.S cooler

Well i found out whats been causing such a heavy leak in the front end of my truck for the past few days. It looks to be that one of the oil coolers (drivers side one) is shot and leaking, along with the power steering cooler which has sadly rusted through completely and just began leaking too to make for a nice slurry of fluid on my driveway floor. So before i go into this does anyone know where i can get a replacement oil cooler for my truck and if i need anything else too?

also if anyone has some instructions or advice to help me out i would greatly appreciate! The power steering cooler looks like its going to be the worst of the whole thing


Thanks in advance!

Oil cooler is a big problem for these trucks, you'll want to fix that before starting the engine again. Leroy Diesel, Heath Diesel, and Lubrication Specialists all sell oil cooler kits that use good fitting and stainless braided hose. Leroy will probably have the best price and customer service, Heath is really good from what I've read but is the most expensive.
