Ya but reading through the threads "racinjimy" did this and he never mentioned having to flair it....I wonder if it would be ok to crimp down without a flair? Don't want to buy a flairing tool for 1 job and never use it again..

Wouldnt chance it, when it easy enough to flare it. If you just try an clamp it without flaring an using the Aeroquip Connectors I believe it will leak after time. If you are seriously debating cutting off the factory crimp fittings then you should def. go the extra step an flare.

I didn't flare mine and I haven't had any problems. That's not to say that I won't, but so far so good. I did use fuel line clamps on mine where the new rubber lines connect to the factory steel lines just as a precaution though.

Go to an auto parts store that lets you borrow tools for free. Advanced Auto Parts around here does that. Use a 3/8s flare.

I installed the 70266 today. I deliver mail so I'm idling or crawling all day. Thanks for the write up Paratus13!

mijku

got any part numbers for the couplers you used?

If you have an AutoZone near you, try them too. I borrowed a flaring tool for free from them when I had to repair a broken hard brake line.

Ill list the part #s for you.

Just installed a cooler this last weekend. It was easier then I expected it to be.
