The coolant runs thru the oil cooler so if it was plugged it would affect the flow.....i am using a short cut from a very close friend who's a mechanic.....its quite simple to do....if u very carefully open the crimps on the tubes u can move them aside and slide the core right out and retold the crimps back to the new one....u just change the seal that come with the new one and don't have to take the whole dash apart

@dodgpwr

Any chance you could explain the process in more detail?

Any diagrams or photos?9
