Hope you caught it in time and that no damage occurred to the lubricated parts of the engine.

I had a 93 suburban that did blow one of the the oil cooler lines (there are 2). Luckily no damage happened to the engine. I just filled it up with oil and loaded it on a trailer and hauled it home. I had to get the lines from a Chevy dealer because the after market lines did not fit. If you are very careful and they are not too brittle, you can get the lines out of the radiator clips. They are not screwed in. They just snap into a shark type fitting. Also, in case you were curious Lars? You cannot eliminate that damn cooler. I was going to try to loop the lines around but was told by the dealer and several Chevy guys, it is a necessary application as the oil gets too hot in the newer engines. The lines cost around $120.00 per line.   Good Luck     Pat

Hey Pat..

thats right u need to use the cooler on them.. i changed the oil line 2 yrs ago on it.. because i had a small leak on one.... but im not going to use the org line of alu on it

im going to replace them whit a kit like this.. http://www.lubricationspecialist.com/gm-6.5td/6.6l-diesel/97-and-later-6.5td-oil-cooler-lines/ or going to hear whit some guys that make parts like that to get a price on it..

Hope you caught it in time and that no damage occurred to the lubricated parts of the engine.

Well thats my hope to..  but im not sure i had to add a 1 1/4 gallon whit oil to see it on the dipstick before i started it up to drive it on the trailer..

Thanks for the link on those lines Lars. I think I will order a set for my 98 Suburban and head off the problem before it gets to be one. These aluminum ones are a regular PIA.

Could have really like the old "spy-hunter" game from back in the day also.

 

Glad it was what you thought it was, and hopefully you caught it pretty quick.

Nothing leaks like my Harley. Cept maybe my Deutz powered Bobcat. But hey, oil is cheap. And easier to put in than an overhaul :teasing-tease:  :laughing-rolling:  :laughing-rolling:  :laughing-rolling:
