Anybody running fleece's transmission cooler lines? Mine just started leaking and these look pretty nice. Just checking to see if anybody has had an issue with these for any reason.
LBZ: Fleece transmission cooler lines
- Thread starter Muff
- Start date
They kinda look like the DRP lines alligator sells but not quite. The price is a little high IMO. The alligator ones are lifetime warranty too dunno about these.
I have been thinking about replacing my lines also, what are the ends, as in size?? I can make my own at work but need the ends, (acft mechanic) are the an fittings pipe thread??

I just installed the Fleece lines yesterday. All in all pretty straightforward. I cut the old short, and medium length lines to get them out. The long one had a little bit of fluid in it still after draining all the lines. That was a pink surprise all over my shirt.
I read somewhere else to remove one cooler line at a time at the radiator and that worked well for me with no coolant lost. the new lines and fittings were real easy to install. I really like the black anodized full flow fittings, which is what sold me on these lines.

Any other opinions on the Fleece vs. DRP?
I like the anodized aluminum but wonder which will handle road salt better. The DRP appear to be zinc plated steel. My current lines are rotted pretty good and will fail soon I'm sure so I want to get them changed out prior to onset of full winter. Barring any negative comment on the Fleece units, I will probably go with them. Oh does the Fleece still use parker hydraulic hose like the DRP?
Thanks

DHD sells a good set of stainless braided ones also. all you have to do is cut the steel tubes right by the crimps and swedge the new ones on. pretty slick seup too.

I sell and install the Fleece lines and they work perfect. They are a full flow radius on the ends and every O-Ring and fitting needed. I have not tried the others. Steel braided lines could cause problem rubbing other lines/wiring and cutting it in time.

Thanks for the quick replies. I am not interested in cutting the tubing lines as I am trying to get rid of the factory aluminum so the repair/compression lines are out for me. I like the braided but I have worked with parker style hydraulic hose before and it is tuff as nails, so it should work for me. I just have to find some nice clamps/mounts.
Does anyone make replace AN style lines for factory power steering? I already had my lines fail once and was wondering if there are other options besides factor replacement.
Lets see:
Brake Lines- Failed (Replaced w/ 304SS)
PS Lines - Failed (Replaced with aftermarket factory style)
Fuel Line - Failed (Replaced with 1/2" Russel Hose)
Trans Lines - Corroded (Failure soon)
Sorry, just seems like every tubing line on the truck has failed me. Just Ranting!!

I built my own using Cat cloth braided -12 hose and Stainless Jic fittings. I had to round up some Boss to JIC adapter fittings for the Trans, Cooler & Radiator from the local hose shop. The fittings in the Radiator need to be removed 1 at time as they hold the heat exchanger in the radiator tank. I also had to custom machine those fittings to hold the belvue (retention) washer. I also drilled out all the fittings that were stepped to full flow. For under 300 bucks with all the fittings fleece's kit is a pretty good deal. I have also installed the DHD stainless braided lines on a guys truck and they worked perfect but as Stingpuller mentioned be cautious of the routing as they will saw through everything.
