Oil Cooler Gasket Alternative

Yep me too. These trucks were extremely well engineered imo otherwise you wouldn’t hear of them regularly racking up 400-500,000 miles easily with just regular maintenance. Thus the reason I replaced my radiator with a new OE one at 150k. There’s no way to inspect the coolers that are inside it and I’d rather not take a chance but in reality I probably didn’t need to; after I opened up my old radiator I could see those coolers looked new. But no sense taking chances. I have done that with a lot of the parts on my truck. When I did the rear wheel bearings at 160k, I opened the old ones up and I swear they still looked brand new. I’m sure they were original too. Every single bearing was still perfect with no wear marks. I’m a firm believer in preventive maintenance like you.

Maintenance pays, breakdowns cost!
