Upper Tranny Cooler Line Driving. Me. Craaazy
What a mess... the line severed loose from the crimp and leaked everywhere.
Anyone try and retrofit the line of the upper tranny cooler to fit the nipples with hosing and worm clamps?
I'm wondering if it's possible to remove this crimp adapter so I may fit a hose and clamp.
I really don't want to replace the whole line because the rest of it's fine, and I hear it's one of the most PITA replacements on the entire truck.
This is driving me nuts!

Anyway I can make this work? Or is there another way.
Here's another photo:

Just take a dremel tool with cutting wheel attachment and cut those crimp collars off hardlines. Just be sure to not cut into hardline or you will be going down the long dark road of replacing entire line. The cooler hardlines probably already have flared ends, so slide new hose on and clamp her up.
Edit: If you want to remove cooler end of line, you need a special tool that slides into the hose fitting and releases the springs inside collar. But, you should be able to cut collar for rubber hose off where it's at.

Got it done. Here’s final product:
Going to swap out for higher rated hosing eventually. This is more of a quick fix to get it up and running again. It’s only rated for 150 degrees and around 100psi
Need to also use two of the larger size clamps. The small one is already spinning out on me.

P0734
So I lost about a quart and a half of fluid when the line cut. Refilled with All purpose Dextron 3 and a bit of Lucas additive. Now my Ultragauge is throwing P0734. I read about unplugging MAF or even go as far as cleaning it. Just swapped it about a month ago from a parts rover same year. i also read if the clips on the air box are damaged that can cause it, which mine are. I will check all of this and report back if it fixes it.
Should i I be worried that my tranny has been damaged?
Tranny is rebuilt with only about 40k on it Apprx. Maybe it’s times to just flush and replace filter/ check magnet etc.
What else can I diagnose here?
edit* also I smell burning fluid. May still be residual from engine bay and undercarriage. Havnt done a deep clean yet.
edit 2* sh*t, I’m remembering that this code actually threw when the problem happened. Right when I pulled over after seeing clouds of white smoke billowing behind me, P0734 showed up before I shut the truck off. if this narrows it down any. I think maybe MAF and airbox Is ruled out...
