Crappy clothes - check.. Searching for buckets - check.. Tools by truck - check.

 

Oh ya, no assistant..... Check.. Probably gonna make a mess.

 

Ok harder then it sounds. Difficult to get to and in not sure how to disconnect them. I am capable so don't worry but I need some direction. In a union sheetmetel worker.. Lol (don't worry, in a limo driver). Looks like two lines on passenger side which someone has marked with a light green paint marker and. One on the driver side. The two that appear to be coming from the tranny are the one drivers side and the lower passenger side. it has the larger battle tray for two batteries. Doing my research now. Any help is appreciated. Thanks

 

This new tablet is not helping my spelling at all. Damn technology

 

I may have just found a leak on drivers side! This could be good news yes? The black plastic sleeve on the fitting is not in place and the is a fair amount of fluid on everything in this area.

 

The leak is power steering fluid... So back to the cooler lines. There are 2 on each side. I can get to the 2 on the drivers side. Will that do what I need to see? Still need to go buy the tool to take them off unless there's another way though.

 

This is killing me. Why is it, every illustration of the cooler I look at shows 2 lines and mine has 4?

 

Ok. After further investigating, I found that the lower cooler line is the return and the upper is the supply to the cooler. This told me to follow the supply line which took me to the drivers side lower one on the cooler. I figured out how the quick release works, actually pretty easy after some wd40. Unhooked it, put a PC of clear condensate line in the end and ran it down to a bucket. Started the truck and nothing! So fluid is not being moved to the cooler correct? Is there any other things I should be looking at before I assume the tranny pump is bad? Wiring, special hidden fuse, sensor etc...


- the plug with two small wires that appears to go to the bottom of the cooler was unplugged as well but probably has been for some time. What does that do?

 

there is a temp sensor that plugs up to the pass. side of cooler

 

Nothing coming out the lines when running, pretty safe to say it's the pump. Gets no more definative than that.
