    How do you all get 6.2s to 300K miles

    I haven't looked at changing lines on a vehicle with the cooler in the radiator. It seems to me if he got the complete kit with the cooler, he should be able to install the kit. He probably would need the line holder brackets. I've used one hole clamps for that.
