Dude if you have a gm truck you're one tiny clip away from a cooler line exchange. It's way easier, way faster than doing that. It takes 30 mins to replace all of it. It's the passenger side upper line. Just pop that off, connect a hose with a Barb to a pan. Turn on the engine and start pumping 3 quarts at a time. It doesn't get any easier

Doable, but realize the rubber seal is inside of the fitting screwed into the rad. Damage that seal and someday on the highway you'll lose all your ATF.
