Stupid winter with stupid road salt. You'd have wished you would have spent the few bucks to fix it right the first time. Maybe Mark K can tell you a preferred temp. I have a 1995 ford f150 4x4 with a 302 v8, automatic transmission, push button 4x4 144, 000 miles. Transmisson has also been regularly serviced.
Note 9: Then run the braided lines from the factory radiator cooler to the remote oil filter housing of your choosing. Hex fitting on the radiator. Just cover the aluminum fittings with a plastic bag or rag and you will be fine. I did it anyway, because I had a huge stacked plate cooler up front. I removed the heat sheild but there is no room to turn a wrench. In theory hard line is better, but I think the difference is negligible if you have a big cooler on it.
Here is some links I am using I don't have any pictures yet. I plan on leaving the check ball adapter in place. Transmission fluid is full and clean, never has slipped, clunked or any other noises, no leaks, all lines are connected and are in good shape. The scheme works for brake lines as well; I've done a couple of repairs on lines with similar leaks. Ran the car a lot of street miles, and never had an issue. I'm guessing that they are the same threads as the lines that screw into the transmission. If you decide on the 2 feed and 2 exit port remote oil filter you can install a transmission oil temperature sending unit in one of the feed ports.
Think of what it will cost when it blows out miles from home, and pukes all of the tranny fluid out while you are driving somewhere, at night, in a snow storm, with the whole family, and you are late for surgery, and forgot your wallet, and are only wearing shorts and flip flops, with no tools, or phone, in the middle of Detroit, in the hood. I have a similar issue but caused by corrosion. Come to find out it was my transfer case. Note 10: You will need adapters for the remote oil filter adapter mount. So just need 4 of these and the hoses? Note 2: The plan is to run x4 adapter fittings.
I found a cool website with discount ford parts, really affordable from what I have seen. I just choose that one because it was cheap and I did not need one with 2 feed and 2 exit ports. Don't forget to remove the tape. The compression fittings are fine for the trans coolant lines but I would use caution if you try to apply them to brake lines. Out towards the front of the truck, left side.
Could this be the problem in my case? I just have not decided if I want my transmission running 180 degrees all the time. I used a cheap Derale Performance Oil Filter Adapters 25005. Are you using flex hose? It keeps the oil from running back into the transmission when the vehicle is not running. I was planning on running a 180 degree oil temperature thermostat inline to allow the transmission to warm up quicker. Best to replace the brake line because the compression fittings can slip under a hard braking load resulting in loss of front or rear brakes.
Linkage and all wires still connected, checked all fuses and relays. I can not get the large fittings out of the radiator with out damaging the radiator. Note 11: Then run the braided lines from the remote oil filter mount housing to the Auxiliary oil cooler. Another way to find out if its the transfer case, check the oil level an other things just like you would with your transmission. Is there anything else to check or do u have any other ideas? Tried 4 hi 4 lo 2 wheel drive still nothing.
It was good til the other day when my tranny started slipping again, now its leaking about 2 inches down the line from the cooler. The oil had leaked out through the gasket an well its scraped now. Reason why, is I got an aftermarket cooler and a remote oil filter on the truck. Even tried a pivoting flare wrench but no go. What adapter do I need for the ports? May not go as far as braided, but I might. Hi Everyone, I am new to the forum. How hard is it to replace those lines, should I take it to a transmission shop since they are high pressure lines or do they come off pretty easy? I got the top nut loose prettt easily.
