how much pressure in trans cooler lines?
 

Kinked the return cooler line to the tranny, need to cut out a foot or two, have hydraulic hose I can swap in. I did a similar patch on my older ram a few years back, its still holding strong hoping I can do the same to my newer truck. I was thinking to just flare each end, slide the hose over and use a couple clamps on each end.

Sounds good pressure is not high that will work! While your at it run another trans cooler in there Kink was a good reason to do it!
