Plumbing a TruCool

[QUOTE=krambo;4066892]I got black -6AN Pushlock hose from Jeggs. I used all 25ft of it as well to go from the tranny to the cooler. Yea, with 25ft there is plenty of leftover however I haven't tucked it all up nice and neat yet so I kept all of the slack. I also turned my fittings on the tranny to face backwards. It was just a bit too tight to come out the front IMHO. Here are how the tranny fittings look:
I ran mine forward with the 90's, would be a lot better with 45* fittings. The dipstick can be quite a PITA to get in.

It is a 3/8 INVERTED FLARE going into the cooler (if you have the same cooler as I do...40K GVW Trucool). I had a hell of a time finding a Male 3/8 inverted flare to a male (or female) -6AN . I found one however the inverted flare end was too short. Let me know if you find one. I was able to find a male 3/8 inverted flare to a Female -8AN but I didn't want to mess with it. I ended up using the barbed fittings that came with the cooler and -6 Push Lock hose and fittings until I find my fitting.
Here is the link to the fitting however the damn inverted side was too short!

And has anyone been able to verify what size the hard lines back to the trans are (3/8?), as well as the fitting into the radiator?

Hey Krambo, are the threads going into the cooler 3/8 NPT? If so, would it be possible to use a 3/8 NPT to -6 AN fitting with some sealer on the threads going into the cooler?

). You can force them in there and screw up the thread pattern if ya want to...I though about it. What I was going to do when I get some free time was to cut about 1/4 inch off the cooler fitting so that the fitting that I linked above will work. UNLESS someone else has a link to a fitting that will work 
Not sure on the stock tranny line size.

Darn 
Thanks for the info, or there might have been two of us with 3/8 NPT to -6 AN fittings for sale lol. Maybe by the time I get around to this, I'll find something that works...
