Shimy Steve- Which one, I see a few on Rock? part num?

[Steve Wood]

Part # 8010683

[daveismissing]

I think '8010683' is a plastic tanker

[Steve Wood]

You only have to read the description to stop thinking!

Cannot trust that plastic stuff that they have been using on new cars for 25 years.  I mean, I just pulled a 22 year old unit off my Miata because I was afraid it might not work forever.

On a more serious note, when the plastic starts changing color after 20 years or so, it might be wise to conduct some preventative maintenance and put a new one in.

[daveismissing]

guessing he ordered  162AA3R or 571AA3R?

[Steve Wood]

I'm guessing he ordered the number I posted above which I took from FB...but, I am sure he will tell us

That plastic tank units I've put in my trucks rarely want more than a yr before the seal at the plastic was leaking again. The original gm stuff does go a long time, but the replacements not so much. Went to aluminum eBay unit and no prob in six yrs or so. But this was for the trucks.

Rock auto 162AA3R, all aluminum....th e picture is misleading, only one cooler internal, the other ports are just openings into the tank. I just looped the engine oil cooling hoses together. Ran tranny cooler the way Steve said.

[Steve Wood]

Sorry Dave!  I looked at the wrong pic, I guess.

Don't let anyone tell you to block off those two hoses.  If you do, you will cut off most of the oil flow thru the engine.  Either keep them connected together, or remove the filter, unscrew the fitting that the filter screws on to, and then remove the oil cooler adapter plate, and screw the filter back on to the stub that the removed fitting screwed onto.

[Shimy87]

Got lucky, I had a hell of a time getting a coupler to connect them and was considering capping them! I wanted to keep them though as I may add another cooler back in.

[Steve Wood]

It might be wise to replace the hoses with pushloc style from Earl's or such when you do that. Be easier and less likely to pop out of the crimped on connectors. I have not had an oil cooler on my gn in 20 years, tho.

Looks like I'm going to order one since my stocker & 160 stat are getting too hot in traffic now even after I cleaned it out. It's looks like a nice rad for the $$ except I pay Canadian $330 after $45 shipping plus $40 HST Oh well nothing new when buying car parts up here!

[bser]

Hi there would you happen to have part number from rock auto? did it in fact have both coolers in it?

[Just a Six?]

I missed the Fed Ex guy today so it's coming tomorrow. Part number is the same as was posted 162AA3R $200 US
