Sorry if this was answered already, this is a super long thread, but how many long bolts required for the retrofit?
Oil cooling
- Thread starter super diesel

I editted my post with the part numbers and added quantities to the bolts.
So I am getting close to installing my 17-19 cooler on my LBZ. Since I have a Kennedy lift pump I need to pull the one plug for the oil pressure switch. It has the same 1/2" NPT plug as the LBZ. I see mentions of the plug being metric and was wondering if that was only for the 2020 cooler ?
It’s only for the 2020 cooler. 17-19 is still npt
Thank you. The peanut rolling around in my head was starting to overthink it.
So update after receiving the sandwich adaptor from Setrab. It indeed will work with the 2020 oil filter (PF26). It is that same diameter as the oil filter o-ring. Also it looks as if the sandwich plate galleys will flow enough for -12. Should work good. I went ahead and ordered the 2020 oil cooler, I let you know when it’s all done.
I finally got around to Installing the 2020 oil cooler on my LMM. It wasn’t as easy as I thought. It’s just a very tight space especially with the 4x4. One thing that never came up is that the LMM’s heater core is connected to the elbow on the oil cooler. I am going to have to plumb a new return into maybe the top radiator hose or something because the 2020 elbow does not account for this. Not really a big deal. I installed the Setrab sandwich plate and the fluidyne cooler with -12 lines. All seems to be working well. I guess time will tell. Now I have I real towing machine! Don’t forget to relocate the grounding strap from the metal heater core line if you do this on a LMM, it was throwing my gauges off a bit without it. Hope this helps
So for the heater core line you’re talking about the line that runs up to the heater core that can be sealed off by the DHD style delete/reroute ? Once the egr is deleted ? Will be doing this soon myself on my LMM

Moved Chilly's oil pressure problem into its own thread in Engine Building:

Low oil pressure on new build using LML/L5P oiling parts
Anyone having issues with low oil pressure after adding the 2020 cooler and external cooler via sand which plate on the oil filter housing? Finished up a new build with the following: - 2020 Oil Cooler - External Cooler - Bearings set at 0.0025” - Larger LML piston cooling nozzles - New OEM oil...

Just a little update..
I removed my sandwhich plate, adapter and cooler. Just running the 2020 cooler. Oil temp came up to 195 on my drive home (usually 180 with the aux cooler). I was seeing around 55PSI around 2500RPM.
I will be dumping the 15w-40 for 20w-50
Sandwhich adapter was -12 fittings all the way to the cooler. Took a good look at the sandwhich adapter and thermostat, can’t really see anything wrong. It will be staying off the truck for the time being.

I have read though this, can anyone say if the 2017-2019 oil cooler will fit an lbz with PPE manifolds??
The 2020 fits with profab, I would guess it does with ppe. I’ll be checking my 2020 cooler with PPE style manifolds once my short block comes back.
Let me know, I have a sandwich adaptor for an external cooler that’s why I went with the 17-19 style.
That's what I'm doing is a sandwich plate on the 2020 and an external cooler mounted behind the front bumper along with the secondary radiator.
So the 2020 cooler will work with PPE manifolds and up pipes? Gonna get one for my LBZ, just wanted to confirm again. Thanks fellas

Yep. That picture above is everything installed. PPE manifolds, 2020 oil cooler, and Setrab sandwich adapter. It’s actually great because now when you change the filter the oil can drip straight in the pan instead of the 4wd drive line.. also easier to get to.
I did it with the engine out… I wouldn’t really want to do that job with it still in the truck but it’s doable, you’ll just get wet.
