Default Transmission Fluid Line Help!

So my truck recently started to leak transmission fluid out of the rubber lines going to the radiator. I figured it would be an easy job to just go to the local parts store and pick them up and put them on. Unfortunately, I can only find the one line. The other, i was told, isn't being made anymore. The one that I was able to buy was the Dorman 624-821. No one could really give me an answer of where i could get a replacement. Just curious if anyone else ran into this problem and found a replacement or another fix for it.
Thanks, Kevin.

If its where a quick connection meets the line, you can simply take the leaking quick connector portion off and replace with bulk transmission line from napa and a few screw clamps.

AND to add trams life, go to auto-zone and get a trans fluid filter 2210, ( magna-fine ) fits a 3/8 steel tubing size, ( YOUR DODGE ), it goes in the return line, that goes to the rear trans fitting. both out and in are on the left side i had my shop put it in. they said it is hard to find a place to put it.. but they found a spot between the rad a engine. NOTE: use high pressure hose, and after you cut the tube, bulge the tube end to hold the hose on, like the old carb fuel tubes. side note NOT FOR DODGE wix trans filter 58964 5/16 tube.
