Sorry to hear about your Dad. We will be praying for you and your family.
My Dad and Mom are both in remission. My Dad says that whenever his dr needs a yacht payment he has him come in for a check-up.
Lost my sister to Diabetes 10 years ago too, at least we still have the great memories to...
How about the oil cooler/protector offered by www.Buckslowers.com? It may be another option. You even have the option to paint in with a hi-temp paint to make it blend in.
Hope this helps.
