Hmm,I wonder if LMC truck has a replacement?Do we need a syty specific radiator,or just one for an s series truck?

 

[bezerk]

normal jimmys don't have the engine oil-cooler, yes SyTy speific, but some of the SyTy guys don't use that feature, so maybe a regular jimmy rad. would fit,still i don't think it is worth the hassle, just buy a syty specific rad.

spend the extra money and go with a BeCool radiator. also run a seperate oil cooler like a B&M.

normal jimmy's could have had it. it was a special option that I believe came with the zr2's before the zr2 became a special model into itself. otherwise it was availble in the HD towing package.

both my std jimmy's have it.

Nobody else?

this probably won't help but my brother in law has a 91 (i think) jimmy with a remote oil filter and radiator oil cooler (like syty) all stock... it's a POS 4 door daily driver.

also, most people use a stand alone trans cooler. you could get a radiator for sonoma + auto and use the trans oil cooler for engine oil and put a remote trans cooler on a bracket and bolt or weld it to your frame under the bed.

isn't the oil-cooler at the wrong place?
you have to extend your lines, it isn't worth the hassle if you ask me...

the conversation was going towards cost effictiveness. the easy thing to do would be to call the dealership and order up a new one. if modification/parts swapping was easy then everyone would do it and we would all be driving cars from the 40s. personally it would take about 30 minutes with some tubing from bob's auto parts, my bender/flare tool, and the old lines removed (for reference) to make it work. would i do it? no... who cares?... i was just trying to help the man out, he wanted ideas.
