Previous owner hack jobs

I started to get transmission fluid leaking under truck and upon further investigation I couldn't believe how they hooked up the transmission line, splicing a line can always leak a bit but to use cable ties is new one. Oh well at least they used two of them, haha. I will get a hose clamp on it for now but a new steel line from trans to rad is on order.

You can always tell poor quality workmanship if there are wrinkles in the duct tape.
