47rh trans line
i rebuilt my trans and installed it back in the truck. while doing so i reconized that the hard lines running up to the heat exchanger were brazed at some point before i owned the truck. i would like to replace the all the lines so i know they are done right.
so, i would like to do it with hydraulic hose. is this the way you guys would do it, or should i buy factroy lines? it seems everytime i get under this thing there are more problems. guess i shouldnt complain to much, i only paid $3500 for it.

Most of the hard lines are now available at Napa for a fraction of what they cost when dealer only.
Hydraulic hose is an overkill, we're talking 50 psi max pressure in the hoses. Most times it's under 10 psi.
Also hydraulic hose doesn't seal well with hose clamps, better to use pressed on fittings with it.
With lighter duty hose barbed fittings and hose clamps work fine.
The hose only has to be heat and ATF compatible.

I ran hydraulic hoses to replace my factory hard lines. I had a machinist make a manifold to house my temp sending units. I ran factory and aftermarket sensors.
