Hello everybody,

Is anyone familiar with any shops in the DC/MD/VA area that can install an oil cooler setup that wont break the bank?

I am not, but this is a job that is not hard to do yourself if you are talking a factory cooler setup. There are a number of DIY's out there. If you want the list of part numbers to get stuff off of ebay, I can help. I did this over a year ago and I am just a shadetree mechanic. terryd5150 has a lot of experience with these conversions, also.

I have the oil cooler housing and thermostat, but the oil cooler, lines and fitting are aftermarket

Like Andy mentioned, its a very doable DIY for the average wrench-turner, provided you're using all OEM components (either new or used).

The aftermarket cooler is where you'll have the most trouble as these usually require custom fabbing of mounting brackets.

All the bracketry and ductwork to install the OEM unit is readily available and easy to install with basic tools.
