Yup... Its a pain to get apart sometimes, but if its leaking it will be easy.

 

haha thats good to know!!!! thanks everyone!!!!!!!

 

You don't have to pull the steering shaft, either.

Just the oil filter and the block heater (or plug if you don't have a block heater). I pull the block heater to drain the coolant first before pulling the cooler.

Then there is nothing in your way besides the 5 bolts holding the cooler adapters to the block/front cover.

 

I got all the o-rings and gaskets from diesel o-rings.com super fast shipping and a good price. 3/4 smakes with a rubber mallet had mine apart.

 

I wounder if my block heater is the source of my leak... That picture makes me want to go look it over!

 

Here's a writeup to how I did mine last week: Oil Cooler Reseal

 

okay so i had my oil cooler seals fixed , and well it got done ta bout 29ish last night, and well theres more oil dripping off oil filter, with those seals being new and the truck not plugged in would those seals shrink untill they got warmed??

 

Should not leak... Check to make sure you tq'ed it right and wipe it off. Could be some left over oil.

 

i didnt do it, i had an amish repair shop do it for 80 bucks, i had it done monday and havent had a problem until this mornin when i seen it dripping off oil filter, and i noticed on the oil line where it connects in to the hpop the plastic piece that you use to get the line off is broke off, will that hurt anything??

 

Should not.
