tranny cooler install ???? got my tranny cooler installed yesterday but the hose barbs that come with it are way to big for the factory hose i only got it like 3/4 of the way on the hose. aanybody know where to get these hose barbs at? went to autozone and they had them but they were the exact same size and just as hard. other than that it was a pretty straightforwad install. dope style all the way.

I used 3/8" barbed end . I got it at napa auto. I then soaked it in hot water , then pressed it into the hose. If you have to you can sand/smooth one end down to make it fit in the stock hose.

I went to Lowes and got the following Brass fittings:
2) 1/4" brass couplings. threaded
2) 1/4" male X 3/8 barbed fittings
2) 1/4" male X 5/16 barbed fittings.
The 5/16 barbed end goes into the factory lines, 3/8 to the cooler lines. Ideally you would get a 5/16 X 3/8 barbed fitting, but I couldn't find one, so I made one with the 1/4" coupling and male by barbed fittings.
