Warning: Trans cooler line fitting fatigue

There is no end.

That wouldn’t be fun and it’s very expensive.

Yeah I saw that video too. Would definitely suck if this happened.

I'm thinking about getting the replacement line and replacing just in case, I really don't want to nuke my transmission because of a stupid aluminum fitting.

You could cut out those quick disconnects , get a earls internal tube beader and bead the tube . Then run good quality hose and clamps . I did that on the crimped hose that goes up to the trans cooler that's in the radiator Gen 1. Cut the tube behind the crimp , then beaded the tube then ran good hose from tube to the lower nipple of radiator trans cooler .

The aluminum metallurgy is not good though when wall gets thin or distorted. Its what causes the fatigue.

Well that's not good

Literally watched that today. I plan to replace the quick connects with some AN’s when I go to a larger trans cooler.

The lines that would remain are not aluminum. I just stuck a magnet to them.

LOL doubt it , i did this line used tubing cutter behind crimp then beaded it and installed good hose and clamp from that to lower radiator trans cooler 6 years ago , i would rather have this than quick disconnect that could snap again .
