Oil cooler

Oil cooler
I'm pretty sure my oil cooler is clogged or bad. And was wondering if I could just take it out and replace it with the mishimoto universal oil cooler or would I have to run that and the stock oil cooler? Cause I really don't want to have to replace it and worry about it going out again cause it's too much work to get to and I don't want to pay thousands if dollars to have someone else do it.

Do a complete coolant flush with restore then change rebuild the oil cooler and then most importantly ADD A COOLANT FILTER,,, A good coolant filter will prevent the oil cooler from clogging again. These blocks are sandcast and some of the sand will stick to the cast iron and eventually come loose getting into the coolant system and the fine sand will clog the oil cooler passages, by adding a coolant filter it will filter out that nasty sand so it won't be able to clog the cooler.

Well I'm not exactly sure if it is the oil cooler. I just have a coolant leak, it will leak a gallon and no more than that no matter how long I drive it only a gallon exactly will leak out. It never overheats unless I turn the air conditioner on for an extended period of time. No oil in my coolant, nor coolant in oil, and no coolant in transmission. Runs perfectly fine just leaks and overheats if the ac is on for more than like thirty minutes of driving. And if I have it full of coolant then it will puke out of the cap when I turn the truck off But not while driving

I only fill to the min line on the sticker. And I changed the thermostat last week cause I though that was the problem. And I can hear my fan, not sure if it's working though. But I don't have gauges so it's just showing on the temp gauge on the dash that it's as hot as it can get and it still runs normal wen it says that but the fan is much louder. I'm just confused on where the coolant is going. I can't find a leak anywhere and it's not getting into the oil, or transmission. And the exhaust has no smoke and smells normal.

The intake is dry inside too. I have an egr delete so I'm not worried about that

No one has any idea?
