簡要總結

本影片主要講述了如何更換卡車上的機油冷卻器管線,並使用 A N 配件來提高耐用性和防止洩漏。影片展示了更換舊管線的過程,包括切割、測量和組裝新的高性能油管。此外,影片還提到了變速箱管線的潛在升級,以解決現有的洩漏問題。

  • 更換老化的機油冷卻器管線,防止洩漏。
  • 使用 A N 配件提高管線的耐用性和可靠性。
  • 詳細展示了切割、測量和組裝新油管的步驟。
  • 討論了變速箱管線的潛在升級計劃。

更換機油冷卻器管線

影片首先介紹了更換卡車機油冷卻器管線的原因,因為原廠管線的橡膠部分已經老化並開始洩漏。由於空間限制,拍攝過程非常困難。先前已經更換了部分配件,並展示了新的上下機油冷卻器管線。原廠管線已經硬化,存在洩漏風險,因此需要更換。

準備工作:切割和測量

為了更換管線,需要使用砂輪機切割舊管線的壓接部分,並小心不要損壞鋁製部分,因為這些部分將被重複使用。作者提到不選擇便宜的 Dorman 替換品,因為它們容易洩漏。使用 A N 配件可以確保更長的壽命。切割後,需要測量軟管的長度,以確保新軟管的尺寸正確。

組裝新的油管

在硬管上安裝 A N 轉接頭,並使用橄欖形接頭確保密封。作者強調了安裝過程中的一些細節,例如在組裝前塗抹少量油,並確保所有部件都正確對齊。根據測量,新的軟管需要大約 9 英寸長,但作者決定先將一端安裝到卡車上,以進行更精確的測量。

安裝和最終調整

由於相機未錄製到軟管組裝過程,作者直接展示了安裝好的管線。安裝過程中遇到了一些小問題,例如需要調整硬管的角度以避免與其他部件衝突。作者建議在 YouTube 上搜索 A N 配件和編織管線的組裝方法。他對最終的安裝效果非常滿意,並期望這些管線能夠像原廠管線一樣耐用,甚至更長。

變速箱管線升級

影片最後提到了變速箱管線的潛在升級計劃。由於現有的壓縮接頭存在輕微洩漏,作者計劃將其更換為 A N 配件。這需要切割現有的管線,並使用帶彎頭的 A N 接頭。作者對機油冷卻器管線的更換效果非常滿意,並在行駛 20 英里後沒有發現任何洩漏。他強烈建議使用這種方法來更換 OBS 或其他車輛上的機油冷卻器管線,以避免使用容易洩漏的廉價替代品。

0:10 All right. All right. So, it was very very difficult to try to show everything underneath the truck, but I'm replacing the well parts of the two oil cooler lines. All right. So, they just in this truck, they uh go here and here. This is the oil cooler. And obviously, they route under the engine and

1:04 the uh I had previously I've got a video on installing the um fittings that you see right there. Had problem with the oil cooler lines before leaking there. So I ended up putting some uh some different fittings there. And you can see that there hopefully. Uh it's not that hard of a job. It's just really hard to film or to video. Uh the only other part that was a little bit of a pain is right here. There's a bolt and a nut that clamp the lines. So, uh it's much easier than

1:51 doing the transmission lines for sure. So, let's go look at the uh oil cooler lines and see what I'm going to be doing to them. All right. So, here are the upper and lower oil cooler lines. The reason that I'm replacing these, the braided portion here or the rubber hose is you can see it on my finger. It's leaking. These are the original ones. They're hard as a rock. So, uh eventually they will probably have a really bad leak. So, I want to go ahead and do that. Now, on the ends of these, previously, I had put some A in I think these are A&-8 if I'm not mistaken because I didn't want to replace the I didn't want to reuse that stupid push lock connector. And I have

2:36 the corresponding fitting sitting in the actual oil filter housing. Um, so what I'm going to be doing is I'm just going to take a Dremel and we'll slice this here and here. I don't care if it touches this. I'm just want to be mindful of not damaging the aluminum part because we're going to be reusing that. And on this side, we'll be slicing this. And I'll take this shield off. And we'll be using this hard part. Now, I'm going to get some a adapters that will slide over here on both sides and then will allow me to attach some high performance hose that's oil rated to replace this section right here. Uh, so you may be asking, why don't I just go and get the cheap Dorman ones?

3:23 Well, because I don't want the cheap Dorman ones on there. Uh, these things are notorious for leaking. Once I replace them with the A in fittings, uh, they're pretty much last as long, you know, probably another 30 years. But I definitely want to keep this part, these formed parts, because this goes into the oil cooler side at the radiator. So, all right. We'll uh the next uh I think the next thing that we'll do here is to uh we'll remove these crimp on fittings and then we'll measure how much hose we're going to actually need [Music] here. There we go. So, I did scrape it

4:10 just a little bit. [Music] So these things are pretty uh pretty stout. All right. So that's the crimp. It's got a like a double flare and we're going to be cutting it off right on the inside. All right. So, the part that we're discarding is in the vice

5:00 and it should be very easy to cut cuz it's a winner. All right. So, that's cut. All right. So, I'm going to debur this and then blow this out with air and also put some brake cleaner through it. All right. So, when this was on here like this,

5:48 right, the hose was about it's about a quarter of an inch. Okay. And I cut it off right there. So, the hose was a quarter inch away from this end right here. So, um, what I'm going to do is on the hard lines, right, we have these adapters and it's got a little I think they call that an oliveette. So, that basically slides over like that. And well, first don't forget to put this. This is the part that I'm concerned about because there's not a lot of not a lot of run here. So, let's just see what

6:34 happens. Put that on. Put this on like that. All right. So, that should be that should be plenty because I'm going to just put that on like that. But before I do that, I want to put a little oil right here. They make a special lubricant, but I think if you just get some oil on there, it's fine. Now, this will self this will self center. Again, don't forget to put this

7:24 on. I'm going to turn this up like this so you guys can see. Okay. And then this part go like this. All right. So, I'm going to get two wrenches and we'll just um tighten this down. All right. So, we've got this part on. So, it'll sit in the truck like we'll have the hose and it'll sit like this. Okay. Now, this hose right here is about 11 and 1/4 in from rubber to rubber, but we

8:11 added about it's about almost 1 and a/4. So then that would be uh 10. And then this is about almost an almost an inch here. So that would be 9 in. So in order to keep the same overall length, this hose would need to be approximately 9 in. But what I'm going to do before I commit to doing that is I'm going to take this. I'm going to go put this in the truck. I'm going to mount this side in the truck. And then we'll actually measure and see how much um cuz I could be off a quarter and I want it to be near exact. So, let me uh get this set up in the truck temporarily and we'll see how much hose that I actually need. All right. So, I

8:56 thought the camera was recording when I was assembling the hose portion of the lines and it wasn't. So, I went ahead and just because it's so difficult to do this under the truck, I went ahead and installed the lines. Um, obvious obviously this is the upper line and the lower line. And you can see and I'm going to go under the truck. You can see the uh fittings there. And there's the fittings here and here. I did have one little problem with um the the other side right here, the lower line. Uh, I just had to rotate the hard tube because it had a little bend on it

9:41 and I had to bend it up so that it wouldn't have a um conflict for space with the uh the other line. So, so it it worked out really good. Um, right here, this upper line right here, it's got a little bend and I had it pointing down and it was touching this fitting right here. But it's uh just turned it rotated a little bit and it's perfectly fine. Now, the only thing that I wish I

10:29 had, well, the camera I thought was recording and wasn't is assembling this the braided portion of the line with this fitting. Uh there's a lot of videos on YouTube. If you'll just search uh a fitting in a braided line, you'll see how to do it. It's very similar to doing this except there's no colet or all of it on this side. It's just got the tube. You just put the nut on and then um this portion right here has a tube that fits inside the hose and then you just it's pretty hard. Um I recommend that you stick this in a vise and you put pressure on this as you're turning it with the wrench and it'll start threading itself in. And this is very

11:14 very stable. So I expect that these will last at least as long as the factory ones did, if not longer. when I do I have this is my transmission line set up to the cooler and I've been having some problems a little bit with the these compression lines. You can see there's a tiny little bit of of transmission fluid. I am going to probably switch these uh compression fittings over to the um A fittings. Now, when I do that, what I'm going to have to do is I'm going to have to cut these lines back to here. So, I have a straight run, and I'll have to cut it. I'll just be cutting the curve out of

12:01 it. And I may get a fitting that's like this, but it's got a uh a bend in it. And then on this side, I will use the uh same corresponding A in fitting over here. And then I just did this right here. I wanted to see if it was leaking from here or from the physical joint. And it's actually leaking just a tiny bit right there. It doesn't leak enough to to drip a drop. But, uh, I will be doing that and I'll film film the, uh, video the, uh, process. But I'm very pleased with how this came out. I've driven this probably, I don't know, 20 miles so far,

12:48 and there's there's no drips at all. So, uh, highly recommend that if you have the oil cooler lines on your OBS or if you have a a different vehicle and all you can get is the cheap Chinese junk to to do this because these will these are not if you do it if you install it properly, they're not going to leak. So, anyway guys, with that being said, I will see you on the next video.
