Hey guys, I bought this truck several months ago. I've noticed that the transmission lines are routed weird and looked rigged. I'm thinking this isn't the way they should be run because they hang low on the truck and its a 4x4. My truck is a 99 Ranger 3.0 I hope someone can help with this.


These are the lines running under the radiator.


This is another underneath shot


These are running in to the radiator, one goes into cooler and one to transmission.

That's not an ideal placement if you off-road. There is a small hole next to the core support on the sides of the radiator where you can squeeze a rubber line through. I'd Take a pic but I'm at work.

Manual trans typically don't get hot enough to need a cooler. Which is besides the big fact that they work in two very different ways. Not trying to be a jerk but I'm using a phone and don't want to to tap out the differences right now.
