Default B&M cooler question.

I read all of the threads on the trans cooler search, my question is some people stated that the line provided in the kit should be replaced with a 5/16 trans line (Autozone), along with better hose clamps. Apparently a few people stated they had lines come off. Will the hose and clamps provided in the cooler kit(24,000) work with no issues, or should I upgrade to a better hose and clamps? Thanks for any help with this.

I used a combination of the hose and clamps that came with the cooler along with a few feet of 5/16 tranny hose from Autozone and a couple of their clamps (cooler is on driver's side of car, needed lots more hose). I haven't had any trouble with lines popping off. As long as you get the clamps tight and the fittings have barbs on them you shouldn't have a problem.
