Is there a certain type of rubber hose you have to use with a auto trans. mine are cracking and need to be replaced. just curious if i needed special hose or if i could use fuel line hose...

 

I would suggest replacing them with the factory lines,these trans. are too expensive to be mickey mousing with 10 cent clampsseen too many blow the rubber lines off and cook transmissions for the sake off saving a few dollars

They make transmission cooler specific hose

 

u can buy new ones from dodge

 

i went to the store and got some hose. i would go back with dodge hoses but the previous owner cut the steel line just before the cooler and put in rubber hose. i priced the dodge ones 670 bucks for new lines. when the money gets there im goin to replace with factory lines. but just for now i double clamped the hose on both ends of the lines.

 

the last 2 sets(3lines) I bought for my trucks,2 99's ,were only $400 canadian a set from chrysler so maybe check another dealership,if possible because they were only like $275 in maine at the dealership for a set

 

ya i just called them and told them what i needed and he shot me that price. so i think he might of priced me all of the lines instead of just the two i need.

 

I just needed to have a power steering hose built for a BMW the dealer wanted dam near 700 bucks went to a hydraulic shop they reused the fittings and converted them to a JIC style on the hose ends and used a nice teflon stainless wrapped hose came with a 5 year warranty too all for 150 bucks give me the specs on the hoses and I will see what I can do if ya want

I cut my factory lines and double flared them been running like this for 3 years. just buy good quality hose

 

The set of three lines from Chrysler are definately the way to go for the long run. But if you just need a quick fix any parts store sells bulk transmission cooler line for a couple bucks a foot.
