I have been looking at this as well. Also do not care for the location except that when driving off road we always protect the middle, right? Cheaper and easier things to fix are typically near the edges, expensive difficult to fix things in the middle. Tires over rocks, not avoiding them.I'm asking this trans cooler Question here bc I'm not sure there's another thread on it and it doesn't really fit in the trans ATF write up thread. In the trek of getting this oil pan off, I obviously pulled the trans oil cooler. (Not a fan of the location or mounting layout but such is life). Simple question is do I need to replace these 2 big oil cooler lines going back to the Allison? They're a fabric braid and seem kinda old, one spot feels like a kink is developing. SS routed these right under the engine pan and over the axle. I have no specific objections aside from I just don't like the layout. Last thing I need is to dump the trans oil while going 75 down the highway. I'm think I could have a new set made at the hydraulics shop in town, maybe stainless braid? What is everyone doing , if anything? '04 truck
Planning to replace them prior to starting our longer trips. I was not planning on stainless braid. Very interested in other's thoughts, too–
