i want to put my oil cooler on the front rack to help keep it clean since i do a lot of thick muddin, but where can i find the hose that will handle the heat of the oil? should i just go to the dealership and ask for 2 stock oil hoses or can i find some at home depot or lowes?? thanks!

you should be able to find the hose you need at any auto parts store. Just figure out how much you'll need and then go buy just that length.

what i did was just went to local hardware store and they didnt have the right thickness i needed in anything that had any type of thickness to the hose but had some air hose that that you would use for an air hose and compressor for like a nail gun, well that was the right inner diameter and it was also double as thick as any other hose they had there, and its very stiff coating on the outside so itll be hard for anything to really cut it on the trail or anything like that, then i just got 4 brass fittings (3/8") and some hose clamps and i just kept my stock oil lines and cut them rite in the middle and put about a foot and a half piece of hose between the two stock pieces, you'll need 2 fittings and 4 hose clamps per oil line, make sure to use a wrench or socket to tighten the hose clamps down, when i first did mine i used a screw driver and on my first ride i blew the oil out the motor, then on the second ride it happened again and after that time i stuck a socket on the fittings and tighten them down really good

this away you dont have to get new fittings for the hose at an autoparts store or anything like that and u dont have to worry about crimping the fittings onto the hose

Or you can take your old hose into Napa and they'll build you one with pressed fittings at whatever length you want. Safer than trusting some hose clamps.

i brought mine in to napa and they acted like they didnt know what i was talking about, then i also went to napa like u said kidsoncoffee to get my banding tool and they actually had that after i finally told them the darn part number to look up but yet they said they didnt have any bands and they dont ever get any bands

u cant just go in to places and expect them to be to darn helpful, i pretty much had to do everything just to find the banding tool much less anything else

Sounds like you need a different napa. The few I have around here are bad to the bone. I can walk in and the guy will already have a few cv clamps ready for me.

There's some napa places that don't build the hydraulic hoses. But if you can get one that does, just take the hose in and say you need one exactly like it just a foot or two longer.

I would move. I don't think I could live in a place that doesn't have an adequate auto parts store or a lowes. I'd go freakin nuts. You can also try to look up rubber specialties companies in the area. Call any of the local heavy equipment places and they'll be able to tell you where one is. They're a little cheaper than napa to begin with.

trust me we got alot of stuff like that around here, we got about 10 big chemical plants around here so there are businesses all over its just finding someone that will actually care to help...we got plenty of auto parts stores around here, probably about 20 in about a 20 mile radius of me, we got a home depot, a lowes and a few mom and pop type hardware stores in the area, and believe it or not the mom and pop places are the best becuz they actually care to help you out, everytime i go in right as i hit the door there is an old man standing on the other side of the door waiting to walk me to what im looking for, i just love going there for that but other than that they dont carry stuff that an actual autoparts place carries
