2006 Chevrolet Silverado transmission coolling lines

Going to need to replace them at some point but can I clamp a hose over the leaky part to get it by?

Here's a better solution? go to your local auto parts shop an buy a tubing splice to fit your cooling line. Cut out the leaking spot and install the tubing splice. Lasts forever. BTDT.

Attached below is a picture of the tubing splice I used (many years ago). It has ferules to clamp and seal the connections.

I think what six bales is talking about is steel tubing with compression fittings to connect to cut tubing. That is what I use. You need to measure diameter and length you need. You must have a round non rusty part of original tube for the compression fittings to work.

If u do make sure the hose is oil compactable!!!! Gasoline hose won?t last long!!!! Power steering hose is better!!! Like mentioned using compression fittings and inserting steel line much better by far!!!

After the third auto parts store a guy fixed me up with some oil rated rubber tubing meant for transmission oil cooler line. A quick lunch and I will get at it. Pretty rusty for the metal coupling to have a chance.

Right, the OEM lines rusted quite completely, probably better to use hose for a temp solution.

I ordered a set of stainless replacement lines pre-bent for my 88 K2500. They fit great and will outlast the rest of the truck.
