Wish I had your help on my God 3400 glad to know your still around thanks for letting me save hour videos to work on my engine

Really good video. Documented well with measurements ty

Good video, helpful. Replacing radiator on my Expedition and just seeing hte rusted lines, thinking should just replace them all while the radiator/fan are out of the way, lol.

When taking off rusty lines, it helps to tighten them a little first and then loosen.

Very informative. Picked up a few good tricks to do the same on my '98 F-150. Thanks!

You sir deserve an Oscar. The only detailed video I could find!! Much appreciated. May I ask where you bought the lines?

Thanks for watching and I appreciate the feedback. I bought OEM directly from a Ford dealership.

Thank you! This is my repair.

When trying to install new cooler line cut it in half to make it easier to install - then using double flair tool install union reconnecting the two parts of cooler line - much easier than trying to install the whole line in one piece

I agree that fitting these lines in place is difficult at times. But I have just have trouble with cutting a new formed line apart so I guess I'll continue doing it the hard way.

On my 2000 with the same transmission and also with cooler there are three lines. I replaced two of them, a long one from the transmission to the upper radiator, a shorter kind of straight one from the transmission to the passenger side of the cooler. The other one that I left in goes from the driver's side of the cooler to the lower radiator. It is shorter but very bendy. I did show the Ford part numbers for the two I replaced in the video. I hope this helps.

Great video and thank you for sharing in such detail. I have a slight crack in my hose beside that clip. Do you think i can just replace that small section of about a few inches with a rubber hose? If so would you or anyone know what size hose I'd need to fit over exisiting metal hose? Again thank you 👍

It might be worth a try although I do wonder if it might be as frustrating as changing the line. I'm thinking 3/8" ID hose but that's just a guess.

Thanks

Whats the original name of the line I need it for my 2003 f150 4.2l v6

Did you not have to remove the steel line at the cooler on the passenger side? Pop it out of the fitting? where did you leave that little pigtail of line there and hook your new hose on to that?

Do you have to drain all the coolant?

Before reinstalling the Bushings on the Transmission, did you have to put teflon tape or anything else on the threads?

What transmission did you do this on? Mine looks almost identical to what you have done except a few differences. Both my tubes are single piece with all crimps. Your has a slip on fitting at the oil cooler and the lines look like slight differences in bends. It was excellent you show picture of the replacement part numbers. But, i'm having a heck of a time being certain of the part numbers.

The transmission is a 4R70W (code u found on the door jamb sticker). I ordered from the local Ford Dealership and it was still difficult to match these lines. I swallowed hard and ordered them, knowing that if they didn't fit I could take them back. The replacements are not identical to the originals in every bend but still they fit well. Good luck and I hope this helps.

How much was the cost to buy these lines?

What is the metal line next to the ones you cut used for? It appears to be going straight down uncapped.

I don't know but I had quite a time ordering the correct lines from my local Ford dealer. There are several configurations based on transmission type and presence of an oil cooler. If your year and model are different that could be a factor too.
