Thanks for the tip on the metric. I do have a 4wd, and it does seem like a tight fit. I think I will try to fix the rubber portion first, and I guess plan B is to either go to the dealer or use the generic version. I found some YouTube videos on how to replace those clip on hose fittings at the oil filter adapter too, so if I'm doing it I might as well do that too! My truck has leaked a small amount of oil for years now, I assume from the crimps. A week ago or so I heard spurting under the truck, and I was hemorrhaging oil. The stream was coming from the oil filter adapter, and it has sorta escalated from there. Thanks for the help and suggestions!

Thanks for the reply, that makes sense about the flex in the hose. From what I have read, these lines leak all the time. It might be a good idea to just fix the rubber like you suggested, but that might be outside my ability at the moment. I guess I just try to throw the generic lines on. I bet they will work just fine.

I'm hoping this is the place to come for questions like this. I'm replacing my oil cooler lines, and I cant seem to find new lines that look like the original lines that went in the truck. I have gone to Autozone, Orileys, and looked online, and I must be missing something. Ill add a picture of my cooler lines, can someone help me find the right replacement part? All the replacement parts I can find dont have as much metal hose, its more rubber hose than not. And maybe I just need to make those work, but it seems sketchy. Engine is 350 if that helps. Thanks!
