Oil Cooler Lines
Thanks Kevan, that's good advice. I also forget to mention to not over tighten the aluminum fittings. With the standard open wrench I was using it's easy to over tighten. The wrenches Kevan mentioned are shorter and thus less torque can be applied, another reason to use the fitting wrenches.- drecon

Oil line leak
On my 2000 GTS, I had the oil cooler lines rub a hole in each other. The fittings appeared to be ok. I ended up replacing the lines and fittings with after market ones. I posted it here: http://forums.viperclub.org/rt-10-gts-discussions/640715-oil-cooler-lines.html- drecon

Oil Cooler Lines
ViperTony- Thanks for the tip. I'll definitely add rubber hose for protection, once i get the new lines installed. Too bad I didn't catch it earlier... Another tip I heard was using a zip tie at the point of contact, because it's the relative motion that causes them to rub. I'll...- drecon

Oil Cooler Lines
Thanks Dave. I'll check with Dan. I was able to remove the connections on the engine end, using a standard 1" open wrench. The problem I'm having is pulling the lines out from the car. There isn't enough space between the frame rail and the plastic radiator support for the fitting ends...- drecon

Hey everyone, I have a 2000 GTS and need to replace the oil cooler lines. The lines rubbed a hole through each other. I have a few questions(below) and also thought it would be a good reminder for everyone to check theirs. First, here are some helpful posts on removing the front fascia...- drecon
