Automatic Transmission Cooler Lines

[banzaitoyota]

The sage of the leaking cooler lines continues.  In Dec 2014 replaced the hard line from the cooler to the transmission, it started leaking. Thought it was the rubber hose with the PITA connector. Bought a replacement from NAPA, it leaked worse than when I started. Took it back apart and found it cracked by the ferrule in the hard line. NAPA replaced it under warranty. Now the line from the front cooler to the block mounted cooler is split. The replacement line is 95.00 NAPA/ 67.00 AMAZON.

Just frustrated. Anyone changed out all the line for something different?

Been there, done that.  finally replaced all the hardlines with this softline kit.  the vibration of our cummins really tears up the metal lines.

I highly recommend the rubber line kit. It's nice knowing I have one less thing that's going to leak or fail on my truck.

LAst time I checked, you said it was in development. Sent a PM a couple months ago inquiring and no response.........

Pm's slip through the crack when you get a wave of them each day.  Your questions are better asked via a help ticket or here on the forum where more than one set of eyes are watching.

Does installing this involve a full trans fluid flush?

[Me78569]

Nope just what is in the cooler and such.  I'd say 4 quarts

HOSES ARRIVED VERY QUICKLY

Let us know what you think and how the install goes for you.   This is based on what I have in my truck and the hose lengths ETC should be good, but I am always nervous.
