    Yukon Denali XL (2011) - Radiator Replacement - Oil Cooler Line Issue

    The OEM radiator went in smoothly. Night and day difference when trying to get in the oil cooler lines, slide right in. For those replacing their radiator, make sure you get one with OEM fittings. Also, checked with the manufacturer of the aftermarket radiator i first used. They confirmed i...

    Yukon Denali XL (2011) - Radiator Replacement - Oil Cooler Line Issue

    to avoid any further hassle and get the truck running again, purchased radiator from dealer ($330 before tax). Sending the OSC back. Do you guys recommend doing a flush after the new install or just refilling it with the premix coolant? Truck has around 125K miles on it.

    Yukon Denali XL (2011) - Radiator Replacement - Oil Cooler Line Issue

    Was willing to try OEM, but OSC seemed to be well reviewed. Also, OEM one seemed to only at places that tack on an addition ~$100 for shipped, which was difficult to take. Summit Racing was decent price, $265 + $10 shipping, but they are backordered for a month.

    I see your point on the plate. I'll send a picture to the OSC rep i spoke with at OSC and see if he can confirm if they have a different style. He seemed to validate it was an OSC radiator using a sticker on the top rail with a code.

    On the replacement oil fitting, does the large metal shroud need to be removed first? What's currently on radiator:

    Yukon Denali XL (2011) - Radiator Replacement - Oil Cooler Line Issue

    Thanks for the suggestion. I was posting pictures of the issue while you replied, so you might not have seen them. I'll call the local autoparts store and see if they have the oil fittings. Do you know what torque these should be to (just don't want to break the plastic)?

    Here are some pictures of the fitting. In the first one you can see the taper on the fitting is not pushing through:

    Yukon Denali XL (2011) - Radiator Replacement - Oil Cooler Line Issue

    Thanks for the replies! Went back and oiled the fitting and also wiggled...then tried to put hose at different angles, no luck though. I measured the inside of the fitting. Seems to have more than enough length wise. I think the fitting diameter is the issue on the taper. Spoke with OSC and...

    Yukon Denali XL (2011) - Radiator Replacement - Oil Cooler Line Issue

    Hi All - Replaced the cracked radiator with a OSC 2370 radiator. Everything went well until I tried to plug in the last 2 lines for the oil cooler. They would not push in far enough for the retaining clips to latch. If I give the lines a light pull they will come out. I heard on one youtube...
