Oil Cooler hoses are leaking around the crimps. Can't remember who I bought them from but don't want to do it again.
Both were installed about 2-1/2 years ago.
Any recommendations either for or against?

 

visit your nearest hydraulic shop. They should be able to make them for considerably less cost than a retailer can offer.

Might as well do your trans cooler lines at the same time.

 

Yeah, I'll take them off and drop them off at hose shop while upholstery shop is slapping some skin on my driver's seat.
Trans lines where done earlier this year.

 

Or you can keep wasting money replacing LR's hoses good for a year before leaking again.
Keep the steel pipe fittings as well making a note the direction they exit vs enter so the new hoses will fit up properly.
I keep old hoses with end fittings on as templates for the hose shops plus provide them both end pipes already removed and cleaned off from another hose for them
to add hose and crimp the ends. Walking in ready to go I find cheaper than bring them a dirty old hose with pipe ends still attached.
As mentioned above a good hose shop but they must use a higher quality rubber hose material than LR use, this is the ticket for a dry LR.......~~=o&o>......
