I take the axle bolt out and keep only teh lower bolt on the lef side to the diff rotate and you get all the clearance require to do the job. There is a special tool for them but I have never seen one that works worth a crap. Dorman's line's leak-resistant design prevents the common, high-stakes problem of transmission fluid loss. There was some manual measuring required, however. Wiring, brackets, fittings, and hoses are not included.
Heating of transmission oil is caused from torque multiplying stators redirecting and shearing the oil, heat transfer when cooling down of the clutches as they are on the edge of slipping on the steels, and, end thrusting loads on the bushings transfer heat into the case. Is there a nice looking factory cooler, or just go aftermarket. If you have 3 line rather than 2. There are a couple of additional options. See application guide for fitment.
There are a couple of Allison specific threads on there that are super helpful. Has anybody done this repair on the 8. Dormans Auto Trans Oil Cooler Line Connectors are constructed from high-quality materials to provide a leak-free connection between transmission lines or between the radiator and the transmission. The transmission fluid cooler lines rusted out and all the tranny fluid pumped out about a month ago. The rest are more of a pain from what I understand. U can use a pick tool on those clips quite well I dont know if you vehicle is 4x4 but if it's the case I usually take the front diff just about out.
But to update ya, Thanks a ton for the tip on the jiffy tool, That thing saved my but for sure, makes it simple to get lines out. They took one look at the stock lines and knew that over time they will fail again. I want to improve the cooling of both the transmission and engine. Steve carefully measured, making sure to capture every detail that we would need to be sure our cooler fit without a hitch.

Cost the same as new lines but the fix is forever. . There were really only 3 choices I found when I was looking. I did buy new lines from Amazon and took them to a local hydraulic shop to have the stock flex hoses cut off. Properly sized and ready to install. Front exhaust get in the way? The 25 flat tubes have 200 micro extruded passages providing a large surface area to transfer heat for external air flow cooling. Thanks a bunch, sure looking forward to that one.
Heating of transmission oil is caused from torque multiplying stators redirecting and shearing the oil, heat transfer when cooling down of the clutches as they are on the edge of slipping on the steels, and, end thrusting loads on the bushings transfer heat into the case. However, the Allison transmission mated to 2001-2014 Duramax engines is not that weak point. Thanks to all for your input. Some fabrication and wiring skills will be required for installation. The 25 flat tubes have 200 micro extruded passages providing a large surface area to transfer heat for external air flow cooling. With every generation of Duramax from 2001-2014 examined, we needed two different fittings and three different hose sets to fit our target vehicles. I have the Banks 6 Gun tunner with stock air cleaner.
They are easy to remove with a seal pick. Using the same Micro Extruded bar technology as is in our air-to-air Charge Air Coolers, the 200 Micro Extruded passages in each cooler provide a large surface area to transfer heat for external air flow cooling while turbulent oil flow design promotes a more complete cooling. These heavy-duty, high-flow, flexible transmission lines are just what you need for trouble-free performance from your Allison Transmission. Fitting Size End 2 in : 0. It is not a replacement for your factory cooler.
Dont re use the clips. The 25 flat tubes have 200 micro extruded passages providing a large surface area to transfer heat for external air flow cooling. Hello everyone Hope all is well. With the stock coolers evaluated, Steve measured the space available for our cooler as well as the routing of transmission fluid lines. The wife and I are going on a trip soon and I need to either get this or have this done soon. That was a bigger job than expected as I had to remove the exhaust system, transmission supports, and torsion bar assembly in order to lower the transmission far enough to get maximum access to the trans. If used in other applications it is the responsibility of the installer to wire this switch.
