Use a heat gun on the connectors.The glue will soften enough to pull them also reheat when you plug them back in.Its like GM's stupid funny joke on the world....Only thing is no one laughs when they break well it least not me anyway.

The ****-hole that is Los Angeles. Actually it's not that bad, it's just I hate the amount of people that live here, I'd be perfectly happy living anywhere in the Midwest.

You don't like all my zip ties!! If you can recommend a better way I'm all ears!!
btw...I completely forgot that the stupid module unbolts from the tranny, hence why I did it that way, I don't remember us doing it that way but thinking back now, we obviously must have!

I wanna claim temporary bout of idiocy was responsible for that...but I'd be lying if I used the word temporary!

So I have a new question, surprising I know!!

I'm looking for an oil cooler block that has an additional outlet port that I can use to run oil supply to my turbo while retaining the engine oil cooler lines.
You guys think this will work alright??

http://www.lingenfelter.com/mm5/merc...gory_Code=C186

If so, Looks like I'll be needing to run new coolant lines from the block to the radiator, what fittings am I gonna need that plug into the radiator? This is what those fittings look like on the other end of the coolant lines that fit into the radiator. I'd love to be able to re-use those lines but doubt that would be possible. I know those fittings are two part fitting too, which would be easier to make it adapt to the radiator, the threaded ones or the clip on ones?

Thats the block on my HD truck that I used for my turbo feed, just drill into and tap for an fitting. I used the Lingenfelter adaptor on a buddies f-body and it worked out well.

Why can't you use the factory oil cooler lines/block?? That's what I planned on using as a feed.

I would just cut those hard lines, use them to get into the radiator, and go to your SS hose, thats what I did.

Or figure out what thread they are at a harware store, and order the proper AN fitting to get out of the radiator
