Does anyone know the size (diameter) of the transmission fluid lines?
During my transmission replacement, I had to tear out all the hard lines (corrosion), and haven't done a permanent fix yet.

Thanks.

I wish I could help you with that but mine are long gone since the manual swap.

But does this mean that you are home and back to work on the truck again???

Nah, not back yet.
Just trying to figure some stuff out before I get out, to take care of it quicker.

you need the diameter of the hard line or the rubber hose?
the hard line might be the same size as the brake line, but i'm not sure and its too dark to go out and look right now.

i wish i could have gotten my old tranny cooler lines out but 1 didn't want to budge so i only have 1 hanging down.

For the hard lines I got OD 3/8 .375 ID 5/16 .316

Napa and even autozone sells direct fit replacements. I got mine from Napa, the line blew 3yrs ago then killed my perfect transmission and after the 2nd shop rebuilding the tranny is finally back to perfect.
