a518 cooler lines

Hi All,
Does anyone have a diagram of how the a518 cooler lines run? I have a truck, a "92 W250 , that the lines were cut when removed. Also, is there an in and out on the engine mounted and front mounted coolers?
Thanks,
Mike

I don't have a picture, but it comes out of the front of the trans goes across to the pass side, in the rear of the trans cooler on the side of the block, comes out the front, back across to the drivers side to the front cooler, then back too the rear port on the trans.

If you have the dealer installed underbed cooler, it is plumbed between the front trans port and the heat exchanger on the right side of the engine.

I got them all hooked up. The P.O. had cut all the lines when he removed the trans. Turned out that they matched up really close. I just picked up some compression fittings and joined them together. The new trans is hooked up and awaiting fluid.
Thanks to all for the replies.
Mike

Pretty silly when all that had to be done was to disconnect two fittings. The truck came with all the cut lines . I would have done it in a little less barbaric manner.
