why dont you use the stock oil cooler line from the trucks? they bolt up in place of the adapter (above the filter) on the f-body oil pan and go to the rad but you could cut them shorter and route hose to an ext cooler. i got mine with my 6.0 and plan on doing that.

is this truck adapter the one that has the hoses made on it or is it like the LG adapter that has the holes for the threaded nipples? i called my chevy dealer and he says that part # 15725587 doesnt exist... and then he said the new # is 15203890 is the part that has the oil cooler adapter made with the crimped hoses and its $120. any help would be great.

I use the LPE adapter. It comes with ports for a temperature guage and a return line from say a turbo. Then I use an integrated oil cooler in my radiator.( Ron Davis)

Ron Davis also makes serious heat exchangers that I would recommend. 7, 14 and dual 14 plate exchangers for serious cooling of hot fluids. In the Arizona mid day sun in dessert racing they drop oil temps 100*.


The integrated oil cooler in the radiator drop temps 30-40* and is a win win situation with the radiator providing 20% better cooling than factory in the first place.
