Had the same thing happen to me, and a few others here, the hard line going into the radiator? Check the clip isn't broken?

try pulling on the line harder. A lot of pressure goes through that line, so pulling on it lightly isn't nearly as much pressure as what it sees. See if it comes out then. I think it's just a bad clip. Does it shift hard? did they turn up the line pressure too far?

i think that they did turn up the line pressure because after leaving the dyno shop the first two shifts were hard but the line didnt pop out until 150 miles down the road after boosting it on the highway a couple times the hill is what caused the line to pop out ....so getting the cooler will it come with new line that plugg into the tranny and will it stop poping out

My universal cooler I put on my blazer hooked up to the factory line by using a thick rubber hose and hose clamp.
