Kind of a rookie mistake, but I didn’t flare the end of my trans line coming off the radiator.
I Started my truck this morning and low and behold the trans line blew off while I was in the house and spit out a bunch of transmission fluid ALL OVER.
The reason there is a rubber hose there in the first place is because I bent the metal trans line before install and decided to do rubber instead of tracking down another set.
I guess my question is ... has anyone ever ran all rubber trans lines? Or is that a bad idea?
This has happened before and I don’t want a third time to be a charm.
