anyone know how to diconnect trans lines for replacement ? 94, i ton auto . also any other source beside dodge . thanks

 

At what points? are they not compression or flare type that unscrew?

 

the lines i believe are are all connected with flare nuts and fittings. you should be able to take them to any hydraulic hose shop and they will make new ones . this will be cheaper than dealer price easily. unless i'm mistaken there is a check valve in the system so don't reverse anything or you won't have a cooler. someone will correct me if there is no check valve.

 

The front tranny line is a flare, I believe that the rear one has that goofy connector, you need to compress the two plastic tabs and is should pull right out.

 

On the 94, there are a number of different configurations. Most of the fittings, however, are held together by hair pin locks. just pull the lock out, and tug on the line. the two lines on the tranny are slightly different. They will probably just fall apart.

The parts to switch over to more trustworthy lines are dealer only, the price will shock you.

thanks for your help everyone . infidel , that was exactly what i was looking for . my dealer said he would personally gold plate them to ease the pain .

 

ticki2 , If this is the type of connectors you have you should have only one on the rear line. The pressure line at the trans (front) should have been updated with an all metal disconnect as there was a recall for replacement due to blowing off and causing fires. Now is the time to make sure you have the right set-up. Tony

 

Recall only applied to gassers

 

ordered the new lines , should be in tomrrow . they are the new style , screw together , the old style are no longer available , so you need to get new end fittings also . lots of bucks for thin steel tube .

 

To get the right lines, I had to order two sets and return the unused ones...lucky that you got the parts numbers here. We could easily fab the lines for about 1/4 the price, but who can afford the aggravation!

To ge the rubber lines on the cooler, I found it easier to loosen the cooler to move it around.
