How to replace the Transmission Oil Cooler Hose on Chevrolet Express 1500?

Question

Accepted Answer

Raising the vehicle on safety stands forms the first step for changing the transmission fluid cooler hose/pipe. Start by detaching the 2 oil cooler lines from the Radiator before you disconnect the outlet pipe from any attached auxiliary cooler pipe components when such equipment exists. Begin by taking the clips off the frame rail and then unfastening the 2 transmission oil cooler lines. It is necessary to pull the plastic cap back at least two inches from the transmission quick connect fitting when you remove its retaining ring and cooler line. The retaining ring should be rotated with a bento tip screwdriver until it can be removed entirely then the ring needs disposal. Remove both cooler lines from the vehicle by first removing the e-clips from their quick connect fittings and then pulling straight out from the fittings with the retaining rings (E-clips) already removed. Raising the vehicle a second time makes it possible to connect the new transmission oil cooler line. Standalone new retaining rings (E-clips) must be installed into all quick connect fittings before use. Connect the 2 cooler lines to the Radiator while you should also install the inlet line on the Radiator and the outlet on the auxiliary cooler line. Secure the transmission oil cooler lines with proper placement of the retaining ring and a slot on the quick connect fitting followed by rotation until all three ears suit the slots. Test the free movement of the retaining rings before installing new retaining rings (E-clips) into all quick connect fittings. Make sure you obtain new caps since the cooler line should have plastic caps at both ends prior to its installation. Jacob the cooler line through the quick connect fitting until the fitting emits a click sound or provides resistance then refrain from placing the plastic cap for installation. Apply sharp backward force on the cooler line to verify its secure position before setting the plastic cap onto the fitting without touching the retaining ring. A proper seal exists when the fitting cap sits fully in place and the yellow band from the tube remains hidden inside the fitting. The plastic cap installation requires complete seating against the fitting. The retaining ring needs removal to check for bends before returning the necessary components for proper reinstallation. Fitting the cooler lines to transmission and engine lines must occur before lowering the vehicle.
