Parts Needed:
1) 3/8" tranny hose, $3.00 a foot I bought 2 ft.
2) 2 hose clamps.

Pull off the line with the check Valve.
Leave the "Flared sections" on both the fitting coming out of the radiator
and the tranny line in place. Dont cut them off.
Next push the nut back as far as possible on the tranny line.
Use tranny fluid to lube the fitting and steel line,
makes it easier to push the hose on .
Cut hose to lenght needed.
Put both clamps on the hose and push the ends of the hose over
the flared section atleast an 1 1/2" and tighten clamps securely.

sweet, thanks for the short version!!!

Although, I am not going to do this until my truck is out of warranty in march 2011. In case my tranny dies.

Yeah some may say i voided it with the mods I have done. But how can they prove that the tranny was cooked by roller rockers when the check ball valve failed.

I might just get a new check valve. Because they work fine as long as the valve works properly.

 

I knew this had to be less complicated than the DIY makes it out to be... Thanks a million!!

I'm doin it now

 

Copied to the transmission thread in the FAQ.

 

if it works, do it!

 

So what exactly do you cut off.. and with what tool did you use? Saw?

 

I don't believe he cut anything.

 

The ONLY!!! thing you cut will be the 3/8" tranny hose to lenght, thats it.

Dave, got a few questions for you. How long have you had this setup on? Any leaks? Just curious if standard hose clamps can contain the pressure of the lines or not. And is the Tranny line hose available at Advance or AZ?

 

Been on since November.
I dont know I bought the hose at a local auto parts store its Gates Hose.
Used regular hose clamps.
The hose fits tightly over the flared section off the steel line and the fitting.
No issues with leaks.
