trans cooler hose question
hey guys i have asked around and gotten mixed answers so i figure i should ask the experts here, you guys have never steered me wrong. I need to replace my aux trans cooler since the PO must have taken it off at one time and now my grill ate it and most of the fins r crushed. I got the new one so thats not my issue, but i figure it time to replace all the hoses that connect it sine they have seen better days, lol. I have no where near enough trans cooler hose for the job but I do have almost 50 feet of goodyear 50psi fuel/emissions hose(sae 30r7) lying around. is there any harm in using that or do i really need trans cooler hose?

Put it after the coolers in the return line, its not a good ideal to put it before the coolers. A magnafine filter will work great, it has a magnet in it to keep all the shrapnel from making its way back to the trans.

Thanks and it did, its so nice to have a place to work on my stuff again, did an oil change on the 87 and cleaned all my rust spots to bare metal and gave them a good coat of paint, a little bit chemotherepy for the cancer.
