I replaced all the transmission lines and all the radiator lines this weekend. Pepboys only had the fuel line so I purchased some ... OOPS ... I was able to find the correct stuff at a different parts house. Its thicker and will hold up better to the detergents in the tyranny fluid.

BY The way ... there is a radiator line under the fan clutch that was the worst of all the hoses that I removed ... Do not for get that one.

I did my other whip with fuel hose a few months ago. so far, no issues. car trannys arent high pressure

Its not the high pressure that will get you ... but, I am glad you feel comfortable and happy with a hose that will start to disintegrate into your transmission... :ftard:

Titan14 , The chemicals in transmission fluid are different then most types of fuels including diesel. Time is not your friend on this one.

you may notice from the links posted above that both hoses are manufactured from the exact same material.

So you want me to provide you with a chemistry lesson? I think I would put most people to sleep by the time I was done.

Lets just say there IS and issue when the compounds from one type of fluid when, Hydrolic with cleaners, interact with other compounds rubber based "adhesive agent" There can be an affect over time that can cause the "adhesive agent" to become less adhesive. This process may help the hose to disintegrate from the inside out.

The best thing to do would be to use the correct hose and that is what I am trying to tell people here to do. As I have said before, I am glad you are happy. Now, for the extra $2 to buy the same length of hose, even if I am totally wrong, is it worth your piece of mind for $2? Just saying

Enough said, all done, no more comments from me on this one.

Well, following the advice on this forum, I picked up some Trans Cooler hose from O'Reilly to change mine out with and honestly it cost about the same as the fuel line hose, it's all cheap enough to just know that it's done right. Rob, whether you're right or wrong your concern is greatly appreciated and probably helped me out, or at least with pissing off wifey for spending another day in the garage. :rofl:

That's all I was trying to do ... HA!

only 4 years and 9 days until you have to report back.

We might as well do a six year update! Since the fuel hose was installed as tranny hose, over 6 years ago (it was installed before I participated in this thread) , I have replaced the radiator, almost exactly one year ago , which required removal and inspection of the hoses in question.

They are all perfect. No leaks, no rubber deterioration.

So, someone above appears to be less than honest in their assessment.

So, what you are say is, "hey, save $2 and use any old fule line, its all good"

Maybe fish tank air line will work too?

Haha... Sure call me a liar, but then again , where is the lab report on the used fule line?

what an old thread ...
