hey guys
i've got a 94 S-10 Blazer with the W code 4.3
the oil cooler line going into the radiator ruptured yesterday and i was wondering if anyone knows where to get a new one without going to the dealer and getting raped??
also, any tips on replacing the line?
thanks

Any autoparts store will have the proper lines. You want lines that have 3 crimps in the connections between the hardline and the flex line. Dorman makes a good set of lines.

 

humph,
none of the part stores in this one horse Ga town can even order one.
you say "W code 4.3" and their computer crashes

 

PartsAmerica.com - Advance Autoparts website shows two possibilities, Motormite #625102 as well as #625176 for HD cooling applications.

Autozone.com shows Dorman #625-102 with no mention of another HD cooling application...

 

wow, thnx man,
the HD line may work, but i'd have to see it. the normal oil cooler lines dont look like they'll work on mine

 

hey anybody know the production figures on the 94 W code Blazers?
mine's a 94 4 door Tahoe LT with everything from a factory tailgate spare tire mount to elec hatch release and of course thesweet W code 4.3. ive never seen another one optioned like this one.

 

Mine has all of that too! It's probably an LT also, just haven't bothered to check...I think that's what it says on the glovebox?????????

OK, I just checked and it says S10 Tahoe on the glovebox......

 

is the 8th digit in the VIN a W or Z? (the engine code)

 

It is a W
