Default 03 5.9l cummins trany cooler

Transmission is a 48re. So the 2 rubber lines that have quick connect ends was both leaking so I replaced both but they are both still poring out on the end of the cooler. The only thing I can think of is the tube where they slide on is too warn. Any ideas to fix besides buying a new 200 dollar cooler thanks.

thats before I cleaned and installed new

Did you lube the new connectors before installing?

If they are still leaking, I would be tempted to replace them with some hose, and a couple clamps......

It's just a cooler, so, not a lot of pressure. Consider, the factory used hose clamps back in the day.
