I have a 94 Chevy K1500 truck. I'm a woman & try to do this by myself by watching RU-vid. The problem I have is ... it's pretty cramped & not much room, my arm also short (almost 2' from armpit). The oil filter adapter & everything is blocked by the frame on the left & it's sit on the top of the front differential. Even I removed the left front tire, it's still block & further back. I use jack to jack up the front so it's still limited room under the truck to craw in. Any tips, tricks & advice so I can do this job & complete the job by myself? Thanks.
For the GMC 5.7 C1500 the part numbers are 12472279 (inlet side of the oil adapter plate to lower fitting on the oil cooler tank) and 12472280 (outlet of oil adapter plate to the upper fitting on the oil cooler tank). As you view the oil adapter plate the inlet is the upper most fitting and the outlet is the lower fitting, which is also tucked in closer to the engine, presuming you have the GM adapter.

Thanks for the video are the lines leaking yet I have tried factory and aftermarket both seem to start leaking again within a year or so 😢I was thinking of deleting the lines at the oil filter adapter and be done with it it dose stop the rust though
@@kevinarmstrong864 no they dont leak at all, I went with genuine GMC. Been however long since my original comment that I installed them. I opted to use new quick connects instead of reusing the old ones that were brittle.
