How to run transmission cooler lines
Does anyone have any picture on how they ran their transmission cooler lines? The pre-bent ones I bought are too close to my headers - think they'll get too hot? Still need to install starter also. Search the threads couldn't find anything.

Re: How to run transmission cooler lines
Honestly, if they are not touching or rubbing, you're fine. It might be too hot for you to touch but if there is a gap between the tube and the headers, there will not be a lot of heat transfer. The fluid in the tranny will be hotter then what heat will transfer from the headers.

Re: How to run transmission cooler lines
I agree with cdowns ... there should be a clip that attaches to one of the oil pan bolts that holds the lines.

Re: How to run transmission cooler lines
Yeah, I'm going to try and run them closer to it. Anyone know where I can get a transmission dipstick that will work for our trucks? Napa, autozone, A-line auto parts does not carry local. What year do I need to ask for when ordering one?

Re: How to run transmission cooler lines
I'd go to ebay. Do you have the old one to measure? If so, order it by length. If you don't have the old one and don't know the length, you can get a universal one and cut it to length. Search ebay and you'll see lots of choices; billet, flexible, chrome, etc.
