In need of an oil cooler...
Hey guys, my original oil ooler is leaking and its beyond repair. Any of you guys have a recommandation where to obtain one. Maybe an aluminum that would fit into bracket??
Thanks in advance....

Hi Tim,
I have an oil cooler from a 12 Rx7. It's been professionally ultrasonic cleaned, fins straightened, and the thermostat removed & bypass plugged for maximum flow.

Mine was leaking as well. Previous owners had used all sorts of wrong things to try to stop it from leaking.
I tore it down, cleaned it up, had one crack repaired and put new crush washers and AN adapters on it and it has been perfectly leak free since!

Brad, would it fit onto our Repu nice and tight? If so, I'll take it along with the coilovers w/500lb springs! Can you send me some pics of it if possible?? Please hit me up @ top1usa@gmail.com

IT does fit, when I bought my REPU it had a 12a oil cooler on it. The oil cooler mounts may need to be modified. I'll snap pics tomorrow Tim.

I'm sure someone has from this forum. Brad provided a link to one but at this time, I just wanted to get the truck in a decent running condition so it can be mobile on its own power to get to places. When that happens and my finance is bit more relax....then I'll look into a better option.

All good!
Thanks for the generosity of Xp882(Adam)...I'm good now with the re-conditioned oil cooler installed! Got it done just in time for my move!
Thanks again Adam!
