Oil Cooler Hose Question (Feed or Return)

[PacS14]

I just replaced both of my hoses and bought them through the dealer. Both hoses and new copper washers were $155. The hydraulic shop local to me wanted $65 a hose and wanted to reuse parts of my fittings (screw that), though slightly cheaper, not worth the money. I have over 240k miles on the engine in my truck so $155 for another 240k miles is cheap.

So replace both hoses and washers (oem) and call it a day.

That is messed up, honestly finding a good shop (hydraulic) is like everything, hit and miss, the advantage of being here in Houston is that there are many to choose from. I know you needed them, I have a spare car so that I always can have one in case I need to wait to repair something.

I just had one 2 foot hose from my tractor front end loader replaced. I couldn't do it myself so I asked a neighbor if he could take care of it for me (not for free obviously), and total was $35 for the hose with brand new fittings. Just to give you an idea. Then again I'm in area with plenty of shops to choose from.
