thanks i couldn't find it for some reason.
this thread makes me all kinds of happy. Gonna have to get those fittings next time I work on the tranny lines... I hate quickdisconnects with a passion.
If you can find a 9/16-17 threaded pipe fitting anywhere, it is really really damn close to m14x1.5. Note that I don't think such a thing exists, I just ran the calculations to convert to SAE :dunce:
Lots of questions, lol. Lets see if I can answer them all...
Just clarifying, with the 90 fittings, if it is stated to be for -6 AN hose, than it can either be used with the -6 AN hose, or just high pressure 3/8 hose?
I'm using high pressure oil resistant power steering/transmission cooler hose. With the -6 barbed fitting you can use any hose with a 3/8ths ID. The guy at Earls told me you don't need to run a clamp with these fittings but I'm throwing one on there anyway.
Nice mike! I have some leftover firesleeve for the lines by the exhaust if you can use it. ATF is pretty flammable, I seem to remember that most of the trucks that have burnt to the ground in the dez are from atf leaks.
Do not use tapered pipe threads for this, the case is cast aluminum and will crack.
yes 3/8s steel hard line. I'm flaring the ends and double clamping the hose onto the line.
I'm looking to put barbed fittings into the transmission so I can run hose directly off of the trans without using the quick disconnects, anyone know of a part number? I've been searching for the last hour and all I can find is threads on cutting the stock lines with a tube cutter and attaching the hose there. That is NOT what I want to do. I want to replace the fittings in the transmission.
I'm not opposed to using adapters and such to get to the barb, but I'm having trouble finding a fitting other than a quick disconnect that would screw into the 14x1.5mm o-ring sealed hole in the trans. adapters would work well anyway because then I could put 90° fittings on it and run the lines towards the back where my cooler and fan are.
95 aw4 if that matters.
:helpme:
have you considered using these things? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r02AKbp2WMY&feature=player_embedded
also, how you going from outside the cab, into the cab? hole and grommet? im considering adding a flat peice of steel, and running steel bulkhead fittings to get in cab.
anyone have any opinions on -8 lines instead of -6? would the pressure drop be too much? what about adding inline oil filters?
