I used the block off plate when I first started my engine (just because I was in a hurry to hear it run)...then I attached the hard lines from the LQ4 oil cooler adapter lines to the old 1986 C-30 7.4L oil cooler hard lines with compession fittings. (Used the old neopreme lines from the 7.4).
I bought a blockoff plate from dealer....dont forget gasket and bolts!
you guys talking tranny lines?

my 06 6.0 had the engine oil cooler option.
I ditched it and put a blockoff plate.
The oil cooler adapter bolts to the side of the oil pan just above the oil filter.

If you want I can get a picture of mine for you.
Edit: Redheartbeat "beat" me to it...gotta love dialup.
Thanks, I rememeber that now.
my z-71 04 sierra had the blockoff factory.no lines.so it must be hd s and vans and stuff right?
Anyone know where to get the non-cooler plate??
Good luck finding a factory stock type replacement. Katech may sell something they make.
No kidding, ive been looking for 2 months for one and I cant find one. Guess ill just have to go to the junkyard and steal one.Quote:
