So, where is the sample port sourcing from? I wonder if your main hose (#20 below) was put on backwards such that the port was back by the aux cooler, I think the sample port hose would be long enough.That is a good point. I am surprised that the sample port was not taken from the front cooler.
Right now I am only having luck finding -20 hoses with 2406-16-20 reducers on both ends. Seams like a lot to mess with.
I wonder if you'd have a much easier time just getting some adapters to go with a regular hose and skip all the oversize hose with undersize fittings. 1" Male to 1 1/4" Female adapters on the trans and the aux trans cooler then just buy a 1 1/4" hose with 1 1/4" fittings.
Here's the sample port and the front cooler from the 6x6 TM5-ton the same as 2.5? I know some of the 5-tons had the aux cooler but what I'm ignorant of is if they also included the forward cooler. I'm wondering if I really need both coolers (the aux I'm adding is a MONSTER twice the size of what they put on the 5-tons.
I'm somewhat surprised to hear that there is a run from aft to the sample, as well. I would have thought it picked up from any old place along the line (ie: closer to the front cooler...unless the front was not used on trucks with the aux cooler).
I've zero hands-on with a 5-ton and never really looked at the trans cooling system on one.
Interestingly enough, it shows the source in a different location, in the middle of the hose, a few pages later. Awesomeness was saying that there were hard lines at one time
