Oil Cooler Lines - Corvette Central

[billybaloneey]

Noticed that Corvette Central is now selling LT5 oil cooler line/hose assemblies. The metal portion is colored black...painted or powder coated. They may have been offering these lines for a while but this is the first time I've ever seen 'em. Not a bad price either: $189

Those look like NOS, but if re-manufactured, that is a FANTASTIC piece of work. I tried for months to get someone to remake them per OEM, if CC have remade them this good, i tip my hat to them!!!!

Very likely NOS and one of a kind. Doubt there are any more.

Not sure I'd trust them...That same style of crimp GM uses today leaks. Had the trans cooler lines on my 08 Silverado changed under warranty a couple months ago. I have a couple buddies that are GM tech's, they are changing them out on a regular basis. If they 'Have' got it figured out :thumbsup:, & tell GM what your doing.

Not NOS but reproduction.

I just ordered a set of these, i'll let you know how they look when i get them. Either way, these retail cheaper than what the S/S set costs us to make, so i'm hoping they are well built.

More oil cooler lines for sale...these are reproductions...a little more expensive, from a different seller.

I also purchased a set of these. Will let the troops know if they're any good, but only time will tell.

Got the hoses today, must say they look fantastic quality and are well worth the money. Can't say how long they will last, but they fill the need for OEM style hoses that people have asked about.

UPDATE:
As it turned out, these oil cooler hoses were flawed. They same hoses were sold by a number of different Corvette aftermarket parts companies, including Jerrys Gaskets. Our personal failure experience rate was 8 percent at minimum. Considering the failure resulted in a very messy rupture of the outer covering, owners were rightfully upset.

We (Jerrys Gaskets) discontinued sales and all others soon followed.

Our solution was to make our own from scratch, using the least number of fittings and the highest quality of components. This entails the manufacture of our exclusive design CNC billet Oil Cooler adapter, in conjunction with Edelbrock/Russell braided hose & crimp fittings. ALL hoses are made in our shop and pressure tested for leaks by pressurizing with air to 100+ psig & submerged in water & monitored for air bubble leakage for 15 min.

Jerrys Gaskets offers the Oil Cooler Hose set in two versions, braided Stainless Steel & braided black nylon. Kits are complete with all fittings & seals.
