1999 E250 6 cyl 4.2

I have a trans oil leak. Looks like from 1 of the 2 hoses that enter near the bottom of radiator on the pass side.

Are these hoses stock / avail at the local parts store or do I need to have them made up at the pneumatic shop. They are rubber with the metal fitting crimped on the end -- at the radiator side.

I see mostly raw hose at the parts places. I realize I could make them up but prefer an OEM hose.

 

This is a good question but sadly I don't have much of an answer.

Looking at a crash book from 2010 there's nothing listed in or close to the radiator section. I'd call the stealership to check if they even have a listing---all too often they're classified as "field improvised part" meaning a trip to The Parker Store or similar is necessary.

Best of luck in this hunt.

 

where are they leaking ? maybe you could cut out the bad part and put a splice and some clamps in.

 

Thanks for the replies.

I have to get a better look at it. The radiator shroud and deflector are in the way.

I now have some options.

I saw some methods on YT showing some splicing also. Cutting the fitting off --- flaring the tube and go with trans hose and hose clamps.

Any input on just hose and 2 hose clamps at each connection and no flaring ? I'll pass on the flaring tool if I can.

I see ribbed splice fit fittings at the parts store also.

Addl --- I just saw online flaring kits are quite reasonable. The stor may have one to lend also.
