The transmission lines on the explorer were weeping (and the ps too, replaced those).
I got a nice set of cooler lines from Dorman, all prebent and the price was very decent. Ford actually sells them too, a bit more, they interchange to the 11 Rangers. A local shop said they keep a few sets in stock.
My ex don't have a cooler, and I reach over 200 sometimes on hills. and these lines allow you to install one. So for under 100 I got a Hayden 679 and all the lines. An OEM ranger/Explorer cooler is pretty large, probably equal to the largest Hayden I got.
Anyway they are bare steel lines, and I'm thinking of 3/4 1:3 ratio shrink wrap to protect them. The shrink wrap also has an adhesive to further protect.
The areas they pass thru are hot, and fluid film will probably burn off. Hot can only make it shrink more I guess...
Then again they will probably outlast the truck no matter what I do :lol:
