Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) Transmission Cooler Line Leaking

[Roger Dodger]

I noticed the connection under the truck near the rediator going to the trans cooler has a drip or 2 of trans fluid on it. What are my options for repair/replacement? It is the part where it is pressed fit, one of those connectors.

can't remember what was on there to begin with. But I've been using ss hose clamps (2) small on each line. I also use red lock tight on the threads of each clamp when tightening. I've found that they vibrate loose and then start dripping. Actually had one blow off. That's when i went to 2. Been 3-4 years now no problems, though I still look there when walking bye.

Roger, I cut the connectors off on mine and used hydraulic return line (double clamped)
