Transmission cooler lines
All,
I am on the homestretch of a 5.3/4l60e swap into 1987 squarebody. I bought universal 5/16 hardline to bend and run for the tranny cooler lines. The problem is, when i tighten the fitting into the transmission, they bottom out on the transmission housing before getting tight...is there something im missing? The factory lines for the 4l60e were held in using a clip correct?Do i have to use that style connection?? Thanks in advance! |

Re: Transmission cooler lines
the case threads are 1/4" npsm not npt.
i googled "4l60e trans fittings and came up with a ton of options" I personally used AN fittings & line since I had a ton extra from the fuel lines. |

Re: Transmission cooler lines
Hmmm, the fitting on the end of 5/16 line is 1/4 npt?? It screwed right in, just not enough threads to tighten up...

Re: Transmission cooler lines
Thats what I was hoping for. The 5/16 line threads right into that? Thanks

Re: Transmission cooler lines
If you still have the trans that with in the truck before, you can swap the adapters over and save a trip to the parts store.
