Never said you had to go buy a MikeL cooler, or any other cooler for that matter. Never said you were trying to sell anything, either. Im not even "backing" Mike, like you accuse some other forum members of. Its just common sense. It was troubling that you chose to completely ignore Mike's advice, though. When I read Mike's post, and realized the pressures going thru the cooler lines, most sane people would realize that regular hose and clamps just isnt up to snuff. IMO, a person should stick with hard line connections meant for those pressures. Push-locs would work, too...but you still have to change the fittings to get them to work as advertised, too. How many DIYers have access to the welding expertise it would take to switch them over? Not many.
Anyway, please cut the drama. Its not "all about you". Bringing new ideas to the forum is a good thing, but some of those ideas just dont pan out, its just one of those things. If the cooler had hard line fittings, or even push-locs, then it would be a decent alternative to our stock setup.
Would you really want to have someone take your advice, install a cooler like this, then dump all their trans fluid out on the track when one of those lines blow off?
Would you take responsibility for that?
