Default bypassing the oil cooler lines

the other thread about leaky lines reminded me of a simple cheap and easy way to get rid of those things. when i bought my 93 it was going to be a offroad only truck and every line was leaking so instead of spending money and time on something i didnt need. i went to the dealer and bought this




after removing all your old lines and disconnect the adapter from the block you just thread that into the block and end up with this



that piece was like 7 bucks 2 years ago.
