Transmission cooler lines install

[Big T]

Looking at Path of the transmission cooler lines after installing the engine and it looks difficult to near impossible to thread the hard lines through without removing the passenger side exhaust manifold. Can someone confirm that is the case or if not, suggest an alternative approach?

I just did that. OEM lines.
From the front with rad support removed,
and rad hoses out of the way.
It is a 2wd 6.5 burb.
It did require some manipulation.

This is a 4wd K2500 Suburban. Just looks like a tough fit between engine mount and exhaust manifold. Maybe I was just tired?

Where did you guys find OEM lines at?

Mine were the original lines.

I got them in starting from the rear threading and flexing them forward and being careful to not drag the upper one across the radiator. Takes a little patience and all but, I got it in...and out and back in with the older OEM unit again after we learned the $%^&* line was for a 97+ year 4l80E. Is this for the 94?

I will remember to lay in the original lines before dropping in the new enjun.

Could a local hydraulic line shop. Make something up?

Maybe with a flex line inthe mix someplace for easier installation

 

[Goose57]

My bad, I had already run AN -6 lines and fittings. I was just wondering.
