I love the video. I'm not a mechanic, but become one by watching videos like these. Your humor helps also, most videos like these are not very entertaining, just informational. Makes it a little extra special. Lol.
Thank you for the feedback! This is why we make videos, to help the non mechanic do what we know they can do!
I consider myself a UA-cam Technician. Lol So glad I found your video. I am a 55yr old female and have impressed myself of what I'm capable of. Even did an oil pressure sensor that would have been charged $360. Took me 45 mins (feel only) with me laying on the motor. Next time I'll put a moving blanket down for comfort. Lol I'm a bit short but very determined. Thank you for an awesome video and humor!!!
UA-cam Technicians are the 2023 version of the 1990 Shade Tree Mechanic. We approve, glad you enjoyed the video!
Glad I found this video. I was looking under my truck before watching and thought I had it all figured out, but seeing how much book time the job called for I assumed I must've been missing something.
My lift is currently clogged up with a non-running project car so I had to do this on my back in the driveway at like 37 degrees, racing the clock before the rain started. All said and done it only took maybe 45 minutes, and I was taking my sweet time towards the end.
Probably would've been a 10 minute job on the lift, can't believe the stealership charges so much for it. SUPER simple job, I didn't have remove the grille just did it all from underneath and reached down under the hood for the line on the rad. I took the skid plates off (just a few bolts that came right out with hand tools) and had a lot more room, didn't really even have to fight with the lines to get them back into place, just a little finessing. Longest part of the job was trying to find the clip I dropped... First time in quite a while that something went super smooth and was way quicker than I thought lol.
Also, since I caught the leak basically as soon as it started it barely took any Dex-VI, basically what was left in the lines and the tiny bit that sprayed out on the short drive home, still have a mostly full QT at my disposal. Great idea on taping over the ends of the lines, the bottom of my truck is real nasty so I definitely would have gotten a bunch of crud in those lines had I not covered them (which I honestly probably wouldn't have thought of on my own lol)
We're happy you found the video useful and the tape trick worked! Every now and again we share some tips that people may not know. Make sure to subscribe to support our channel and so you don't miss out on the next tip! Alternatively, we do some pretty dumb stuff and it can be fun to point and laugh at the idiocracy. Either way is a win for you =)
I used this video to do the lines in my 2011 gmc sierra. It was extremely helpful. 800 to 1000 at the dealers and I did it for 200. I'm going to take it to a transmission expert to drop the pan and put new filter and oil in it for another 200. You saved me a lot of money so I'm grateful. Being on a pension I have to watch the bottom line. Great job. Keep up the good work.
Awesome! The pan and filter job are fairly easy too. We have a video on transmission service if you want to check it out!
It saved much work and $$$ by watching your video. I had planned on doing the job myself but would have done unnecessary steps. I bought the 2012 Sierra new -- it still only has 55000 miles on it so i was surprised when the transmission line began to leak.
Glad we could help! Let us know if you need anything else!!
Thank you so much guys for the extremely helpful video! On a 2012, there is a metal harness that holds the lines above the axle. Cant hardly get to it from any angle and it kept the lines binding. That thing was an absolute PAIN to maneuver around, had to bend it up and away. That was the main hold up, thanks guys for the video.
Absolutely! We hope you can find other videos on the channel just as useful!
Also, we're glad you found a workable solution. Often that is the hardest part of automotive repair.
BAD ASS VIDEO !! SHOUT OUT FROM SAN DIEGO !! DOING THIS TO MY 08 SILVERADO THIS WEEK ! THANK YOU SO MUCH !
Happy to hear the video gave you what you needed to save some money and tackle this project yourself! Check our our main page for other videos that might help with a number of other projects!
I'm beat and tired out and I need some info on 2013 siverado 1500 and after hearing you high dollar sound effects on getting the lines out. You sir made my day😂 I needed a good laugh 😅 thanks
Absolutely, glad we can be here for you.
You guys rock! I am about to do my 2013 and I appreciate all the advice! Mad love and respect 🙏🏻 God bless you all
Thank you for the kind words, Kyle! We're happy you found the video useful
Yes sir
you can do that job in less than an hour taking your time by cutting out the original leaking rubber lines, flaring the metal tubing ends and replacing the leaky cut out rubber lines with new aftermarket rubber transmission cooler lines and hose clamp on place. Just like you do when installing an aftermarket transmission oil cooler.
That is absolutely one option! We opted to go with the OEM route, but of course, the aftermarket choice is acceptable if done correctly.
Do you remember if the lines were 5/16 or 3/8? I'm opting to just remove the crimps like you.
Can't recall, you might be able to look up the part number though and find out for sure
I’ll be trying this exact repair next week. Ill follow your vid to the T and make sure to chuck plastic across the garage. Thanks!
Failing to chuck plastic will result in an improper repair. You have been warned.
Awesome video.Waiting on my transmission lines to get delivered.You guys are very helpful.Peace from Tipton County Tennessee.
Thanks for the compliment! We hope your replacement goes well!
Nice job! Concise with enough detail to get the job done. Thanks
Thanks for the feedback! We appreciate it!
Thanks for this vid and the oil cooler lines vid, much appreciated brother!!
Happy to help! Make sure to subscribe so you don't miss other videos that might be useful and even mildly entertaining
Dude this video is awesome. Doing these as we speak. You have a new subscriber.
Thanks! Lots more to come!
Great video and humor appreciate it!!
Hey, thanks a lot! We’re here to entertain and help!
Great video. Very enjoyable to watch!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Very nice repair. Sometimes it is hard to move the lines around there.
Yes, it can be a challenge. You just work through it and get it done!
I like to use nitrel glove finger tips for feeding cables and hydraulic lines. I don’t have baggies in the shop but lots of gloves. Finger tips and a zip tie zap strap whatever your dad told you it was called.
Hmmm.. that seems like an improvement on our method. Love it! Thanks for sharing, and stay tuned to see if we remember to do that next time.
Routing those lines by yourself is a huge pain. Take it from me, watch what theyre banging into on both ends. The metal part of the lines bend easily and once they bend if you bend them back they snap. Also, foam earplugs work great as foreign matter exclusion for those lines.
Foam earplugs! There's an idea we hadn't thought of. Thank you for sharing, and we agree.. slow, steady, and careful is the approach to the lines. Working with a partner is preferred.
Grest video
Thank you Dennis! We appreciate the feedback and hope you'll find our other videos helpful as well
Great vid. You make it look easy. How long did this take from start to finish? I have a 2007 avalanche that needs this. Ive done this on a 2005 Avalanche, its much easier.
This job probably only takes about an hour start to finish, not too bad. The hardest part is feeding/routing the lines - helps to have a second set of hands to maneuver them! Kyle had Dale helping him in this video
Hello my friend, awesome video. Helped me out very much. I wish you would have said what the torque specs was on that saide transmission bolt. But I will find it. All my life I would just use the guesstimation method. But I have broke to many bolts. not I heck. :)
Sorry about that, we’ll keep torque specs in mind for future videos. Thanks for the feedback!!
Sweet just as I thought just double checking
Let us know if you need anything!
I did this over the weekend, didn't lose too much fluid other than from the cooler, when I check the fluid It's at the cold marrk or slightly over at 147, haven't been able to get it up to 160 to verify it in the hot zone, is this normal?
Yes. The trans cooler keeps the temp down, particularly in cooler weather or when you're not under much load.
@NiceGuysGASS so at 145-147, it's normal to be right at cold or between cold and hot? I just want to make sure I don't need to top off with fluid but since I can't get it to hot after driving it I don't want to end up overfilling
At 145, between hot and cold would be correct. Confirm this by checking it when it's cold, about 3 minutes after you start the engine. If it's at the cold line after startup, and inbetween hot and cold at 145 - you should be good to go
I replaced my radiator last week and I've had transmission fluid leaking from the top cooler line, is there an o ring that's supposed to be in there that would cause it to leak when missing?
Yes the adapter the line pops into has an o ring in there, you have to take the line out and remove the adapter from the radiator to get it out. Usually the new radiators have new adaptors, but it's possible the o ring got pinched by the line.
Buena narración.
Thanks!
Finding this part for the 2014 plus with the thermostats block is very difficult.
Sometimes you gotta go to the parts desk at the local stealership.. one of life's unfortunate truths
@@NiceGuysGASS I was able to find the right hose today at orreileys. Already got it swapped . Great video. It was a big help , I was considering cutting it and clamping it prior to seeing your video. No reason to , easy enough. Even on a 4wd.
Glad to hear it all worked out!
Need to replace lines on my 2011 sierra 1500 ext 4x4 but can't find the part numbers you list. Only the auxiliary line i can find. Other parts ending in 415 and 417, but not 419. Also 22802047 for lower. One parts place only lists two options for my truck being 22802047 and 15779543. Any suggestions on finding the correct parts? I'm assuming mine is standard parts. It's not an HD model or anything special, just an SLE i believe. 4.8L engine.
Ok after looking harder, i have no auxiliary cooler. So I'm not sure why it's recommending me the aux cooler line.
I believe the correct parts judging by pictures of the radiotor side shape are:
Upper 25999417
Lower 22802047
Any way to confirm this from my glove box or vin?
Not that we know of, but usually we cross reference two sites (Amazon and Rock Auto, or Rock Auto and Napa, etc). Make sure you choose the options that match your truck (engine, 4x4, no aux cooler, etc). Then full send, take the old ones off and match them up to your new ones. If they're different, return them and bring the old ones with you to match them up.
If all else fails, you can buy parts from the dealership... but that gets expensive
Yeah I usually order from Rockauto. Should have the lines by the end of the week hopefully. Thanks for the reply.
why not just use rubber transmission hose to replace the steel lines?
Pressure, fittings, heat, longevity, safety, etc. There are some parts that should just be replaced with OEM stuff. This is one of those parts.
I agree. Aftermarket Dorman lines are terrible.
Tomorrow I will do the same on my 2011 Suburban on the ground 😬
Let us know how it goes!
@@NiceGuysGASS alright, I will
@@NiceGuysGASS Alright, it's took me almost 3 hours to replace the transmission cooler line from start to finish. ( not bad at all for the first time and doing this job on the ground)...
Nice work!
@@NiceGuysGASS TNX
The plastic bag was a good idea
Thanks! Glad it worked for ya
Mine isnt leaving oil mine is leaving red fluid, which is trans fluid ehy is everyone else leaking oil lol. My truck is gonna explode i guess
It's a Chevy, it won't explode.. but you know it'll always leak!
So, are you purposely talking like Derek?
You know what they say. Imitation is the most sincere form of flattery! That wasn't the intent, but Kyle does watch a lot of VGG... clearly, he is emulating some of what he sees!
One important question is do you know JESUS CHRIST AS YOUR PERSONAL LORD AND SAVIOR?
We know Chevy's leak oil
Vice grip garage much
Nah, You?
@@NiceGuysGASS not much
You sound like a knock off vice grip garage
Knock offs are never as good as the real thing!
Awesome work!
Thank you!
