Does this cooler accept the stock lines? Meaning all i have to do is make my lines that go to my factory cooler longer and they will plug in?

No they are in a different place. You'll have to cut and put in new tubing.

Your answers: Sorta. Yes & No. Yes, it does accept the stock cooler lines, but u must use the EAD kit. That kit has this longer S-shaped line. You cut the line, spin 180° & attach the compression fitting. I think the other line fits up after u do that, but as said, find Billy's thread. It tells what to do on the other line.

That's priceless.

Hell I just slid 3/8 hose over the stock tubing with and held with clamps and used a barb fitting on the cooler....been working fine for 2 years although there are cleaner ways to do it.

True, u can use stuff in the kit from TruCool 40K or whatever size he wants. That EAD kit is an option.

This will work if you transfer the fittings from the stock cooler to the new cooler.

Same here. I like to keep things simple.
