2006 Chevrolet Silverado transmission coolling lines pt 2

NY 986 · Oct 20, 2018

Rubber hose not working. The one end of the line is too rough to get the hose tight enough and no room to sand down. I was wondering how hard it was to remove the existing line(s) from the transmission end on the truck?

I don't have one that new. My Chevy is a 93 and it has a threaded pipe which goes to the transmission. It's just where it goes by the radiator it converts to rubber.

Hi, I always put some lubricant on the steel pipe and slid the rubber hose over the steel pipe about 3" and then use 2 hose clamps on both ends. The pipes always rot out where they are holding clips and the road salt collects.

Its really not bad to replace the lines on those trucks, just takes patience. I get the lines from GM when I do them.

I use a flaring tool to put a small flare on the steel tube when connecting a hose. I have had tube slip off in a couple instances. Once from a snowbank.
