    Has anyone replaced the stock oil cooler lines on their 3.9l with these? Mine are original and need replacing before they become an issue.

    Does Atlantic British make a set? I know they make stainless steel brake hoses, I don't see why they wouldn't make those.

    I see no reason not to replace the lines with those. Stainless lines are generally a "good thing."

    I'm not usually a fan, as they like to rub through anything that gets near them if given a chance...
    The earl's 'super stock' rubberized line is a much better idea IMO...

    How much is there to rub on where these lines run? If it is a real concern then I will look elsewhere. Unfortunately I'm not home so I'm trying to order parts to have on hand when I get back from deployment.

    AB only has the stock lines, which probably would work fine as well, but if I can go a little stronger for a little more money I'm willing to do that.

    I've never heard anything bad about the trailhead lines from the guys on D-90, they tend to sing their praises from what i have read. Sure beats your rig turning into this:

    Anything will be better than leaky factory stuff, I'm just saying if given the choice and starting from scratch I'd pick the super stock or something like it.

    I'm sure the stainless is fine if others are using them successfully
