Thorough video man. Helping a buddy out tomorrow with his truck, I've never worked on one before. Thanks for sharing
Thanks for the video! I just did this install on my LBZ for reassurance. I lucked out and did a good job tightening the connections behind the intercooler without leaks, I reassembled everything before checking. I did, however, have leaks on the other 4 connections but tightened them down until no leaks. Worth mentioning, the rubber o-ring side of the connectors just needs to be snugged down. The rubber seals it. I wish the longest hose was a bit longer so it wouldn't be draped across the front of the cooler.
You GUYS are great , 90 deg in the transmission :) the shop wanted $600 per line !! GOD BLESS AMERICA !!
Those 90 degree fittings aren’t meant to be tightened like that, it’s supposed to just be snug and pointed the direction it needs to be. Then you tighten that jamb but down to lock it in place and seal it. Those aren’t pipe threads on those fittings, the threads don’t seal the fluid in, the o ring does. Those threads are straight cut like bolt threads, that’s why they can’t seal and need the o ring. Pipe threads are tapered and just need some sealer on them before you tighten the fitting.
Thanks for the info!

Yer most welcome, got my 5/8” kit yesterday. Have a new PPE cooler for it also.
I'm about to do mine any tips
@@AA-dg3ig
It’s hard to give tips when there are a couple different types of hose lengths and fittings used depending on truck year models.
The OEM hoses would be a pain to remove if you couldn’t cut the rubber portion and pull them out from two directions. There is a clamp securing the metal lines to the engine about mid way on the block. Remove the clamp bolt with a 10 mm socket on a 1/4” drive ratchet. Try not to break that clamp, i reused it to secure the new hoses with a large zip tie. Once you get the bolt out you can pull and rotate both metal lines to the rear and they’ll eventually come out. Now unlock the top of the clamp to remove the metal lines, snap the clamp back together and bolt it and the wiring clamp that same bolt holds up back to the engine.
Use backup wrenches on the radiator and the cooler in the grille to prevent damaging them when changing the fittings. The radiator fittings on mine have a large sheet metal nut holding the cooler tube inside the plastic radiator tank. I used a 1 1/4” box wrench on that and a socket on the fitting to remove it. Try to put ALL of the breaking force on the two wrenches so as to not break the adhesion of the cooler to the tank and cause a coolant leak. Do those fittings one at a time so the cooler doesn’t come loose and fall off inside the tank. You’ll need a radiator if that happens.
As in my comment above, put the new JIC fittings in the tank by hand until snug, then use a wrench to turn the fitting into alignment (less than 1 complete turn) and while holding the fitting in alignment, tighten the jamb nut down to lock the fitting in place and seal it. Repeat for the other radiator fitting and the two for the other cooler in the grille. I used a 12” adjustable wrench to hold the fittings in place while tightening the jamb nuts.
The instructions for my LBZ are fairly straight forward except for a couple of things dealing with last hose they have you put on. It’s the lower hose from the transmission to the lower fitting on the radiator. It has a 45 degree fitting on one end and straight fitting on the other end. The instructions don’t tell you where that 45 degree end goes. It makes more sense that it would go on the transmission fitting, but the straight end is all but impossible (for me) to get started on the lower radiator fitting given the limited space the hose passes through.
So I ended up putt the end of the hose on the radiator end and the straight end on the transmission. But that has a small clearance issue with the oil pan rail on the engine because of the way I routed my hoses to the front. I’m thinking about getting a fitting like the 6502-10-10-45 from hydraulics direct and put it on the lower fitting on the transmission to alleviate this clearance issue and give a little more slack to the lower hose.
Thank you for this video! It was clear and you explained what has to be done in a very understandable manner. My 07 is leaking at the SAME place as yours. Sigh. Thank you again sir!
Thank you for showing the whole project! Great info!!
I did mine before watching this video. Mine is a 2013 duramax. I went to NAPA and had them make a 6 foot 1/2 ID hose 5000 psi with two 3/4 -14 90 degree fittings and it has been great 3 days no leaks or anything. The factory lines I could not get in they were impossible without dropping the front differential . Good job on the video . Its a pretty easy job if you want to dyi .
Thanks for watching!
@@trentonbartley6417 I just wanna ask, if to this day, is there no leaks on these hoses and do these hoses withstand pressure even with heavy load or towing ?
Which line did you replace with 6' of hose? The bottom line is leaking on my 2012.
@Chris Thomas I forget and I sold the truck but the hydraulic line worked perfectly and the guy I sold the truck to never had a problem
well i am glad one person knows how to use those fitting besides me
“We’ll turn it bottom side over and do it.” I like the way he thinks.
LOL! Nice interaction with your PawPaw! Thanks for the video. I have to do this on my 2007 LBZ.
Just a good old boys never meaning no harm..
FYI for others. The bracket holding the two metal tranny lines going from tranny to radiator and cooler can be opened from the top standing next to the pass fender with a long large 24” screwdriver. The bracket has a hinge and can be pried open. I originally went under and unbolted the bracket. Not needed and didn’t work. In my case the nut 10mm was finger tight so it was good to check it. I won’t use it now. I’ll be using flex lines like these. Routing that pre formed tubing is a PITA. and the jinky clip attachments suck imo.
Mine were leaking on oil filter side. But changed them all on both sides. The skid plates hold alot of fluid so everyone needs to check these lines
Trent, Fantastic video. My 06 (same color too) is leaking out of the exact spot, and even my front plastic "deflector" or skid plate type deal is cracked exactly like yours to the left and right of the bolt hole. Cheers and thank you. Probably will get the same kit also.
My 08 GMC has the same leak and same cracked plate
I got it done today. Only issue was putting new fittings in the radiator it pushed in that tank in the radiator and leak out all the antifreeze but o well I got it all done.
Can antifreeze get inside the transmission fluid line if this happens? Thanks
I just did this same kit. CR performance branded from Amazon. $159.99 can't beat it for the price and quality.
How are they holding up?
Ya how are they holding up????
Thanks a bunch for the awesome video. Going to pull the lever on this soon.
My 05 Duramax has 335k miles on her and she will still pull a city out of it's zip code
Bubbl jb jb jv j
Awesome video, I watched this before I fixed my 05. I didn't order the same kit that you did. Any issues with the radiator? I had a little oh sh!t moment putting the fittings into the radiator (not the trans radiator, THE TRUCKS)
I bought the kit today bc of you thank your sir
Great video, thanks man! I’m gonna do the same!
… off topic, what size tires are you runnin? Are those the stock wheels?
Thanks again
I'm having a little issue on the bottom radiator 45 fitting. It keeps leaking. I thought it might have been loose its not. I followed the instructions to a T. Seems like that fitting has a fixed washer on it already. What i did was add the big washer first and then the 2 seals after? Did I screw that up. Please help.
You can set those fittings at any angle. The jam nut is what tightens them and seals them.
Yeah, after routing all the hoses, I had to adjust a couple of the fittings for better fitment.
Yes, do a quick search on ORB fittings and read how they work. Their purpose is to allow proper orientation of the fitting to accept a rigid hose (Hydraulic, etc). You tighten the fitting to the bottom, then back it off to where you want ti fitting to be aimed, BUT DO NOT BACK OUT MORE THAN ONE REVOLUTION. Once the fitting is pointed in the direction you want it, hold it in position with a wrench while you tighten the jam nut with another wrench. Salty is correct in that the ORB fitting uses the O-Ring as the seal.
Good video brotha mine leaking out the clamps also going to definatly go this route
Definitely a good upgrade for these trucks! Thanks for watching
Just put teflon tape on the tred. Or silicone. So it won't leak
How did your Allison hold up using that gm fluid? I always bite the bullet and order the right fluid online
Very informative video. I can do this after watching this. Lol
If your fittings are facing the wrong way after you tighten them try swapping them around until you find a cooler port it likes
That’s not how these fittings work, they’re not NPT, you use the Jam nut to tighten it after positioning the fitting how you need it.
I did this to my last truck and I bought the 1/2" kit and I could tell the inside of the fittings were not a smooth flow design and also not full 1/2" flow path actually much less in places. Which kit did you install and did you notice this? Stock design would have similar restrictions at very ends, I wonder if 5/8" line kit restricts to less than 1/2" anyway just like 1/2" kit.
I did not look to see if the lines restricted down to a smaller size, going off of memory I don’t recall that though.
I went with DRP’s kit which a lot of guys run due to their great quality.
Hey I had to disconnect those at the transmission I need to figure out which line goes to which one
To everyone that has fought with the Chevy quick connects... ha ha, save some time and spin them off with a wrench. You can fk with those mothers all day long, and it only takes a minute to unbolt them, and if you're going to be reusing them, it's a lot easier replacing the retaining clip with them out.
What is the order for the o-rings and washer. Fitting, washer then o-rings?
How many quarts of transmission fluid did it take to refill it?
You still have this dually?
No sir, regret it everyday!
I’m going to attempt mine
Sam K. The hardest part is dealing with the trans cooler, other than that it’s not a bad job!
Where you out of bro? I’m from the Waco area, I just bought a lb7 3500 dually. Trying to build it up from the ground , when I do man we should get together an do a vid
A tip : watch series on InstaFlixxer. Been using it for watching a lot of movies recently.
@Dakari Jamari definitely, have been using InstaFlixxer for since december myself :D
@Dakari Jamari Definitely, been using InstaFlixxer for months myself =)
@Dakari Jamari definitely, I've been using instaflixxer for months myself :)
@Dakari Jamari yea, I've been using InstaFlixxer for months myself :D
Did GM in their 3rd generation lines fix the problem to avoid going fully hydraulic line ?
Randy Lee I’m not 100% sure.
NOPE still same garbage
@@mrmotofy i went deviant in the end happy 😊!
@@trentonbartley6417 went deviant
When I unscrewed the radiator top and bottom bung they fell off and now all I have is plastic. What did I do wrong? thanks if you could help.
Figured out, if you take both trans bungs off at the same time the fixture inside the radiator will fall to the bottom of the lower hose inlet. Remedy take rad off realign fixture put adapters back in it and do one at a time keeping fixture in place so you don't have to take the radiator off.
Any input for fleece vs deviant?
I don’t think you can go wrong with either, I went with Deviant cause at the time I knew buddies who had and experienced no issues!
Still no leaks?
I actually sold the truck, but no problems before then!
I want to do this with mine. I would replace with the original hard lines..but they should have unions..and how shitty are those factory fitting snaps..
Any update on how there working ???
Because eBay has them cheaper
So does your local hardware store.
It’s easier and cheaper to just buy the fittings and build your own kit. I think I had maybe $50 into mine instead of 150 or 165 whatever this dude paid for his. I used AN style fittings and steel braided line. All 1/2 I.D. I even bought black AN fittings lol it looked bad ass and I was able to do it all my self. The over priced kits you can buy from places like Deviant will still leak and then your shit out of luck. Got 20 ft of black braided hose lol and extra AN fittings I could almost build another kit. So look it up people don’t just do some fan boy bullshit. Same with pcv reroute do not pay $80+ for that dumb ass kit when you can make it at the local hardware store. Hell my local ace even had catch cans.
I understand you can do a diy cheaper, but everything you just said is double the work so not sure how that makes it easier. Kinda one of those “time is money” situations, spend more time trying to save money or spend more money saving time?
@@trentonbartley6417 I guess it would take longer due to the fact you are putting the hose together with AN fittings but what maybe 10 minutes? Didn’t take me very long I measured what I needed off of the hoses that came out and wam bam in the truck and done. Same with pcv reroute. It might have took me some extra time to get it from the store and make it but I paid less then 20$ for my reroute and looks clean with a catch can and then less then $50 for cooler lines. Worth it the little bit of extra time it took. Idk about you but I can put AN fittings and braided line together pretty fast 😂
What are the fittings exactly that are needed? And length of hoses?
@@rodleypumpkins4174 not everyone has the knowledge to build a kit at there local hardware store… I certainly don’t. Maybe give tips to build one instead of being a hater… we all start somewhere
@@rodleypumpkins4174 do you need crimp tools for a DIY build? I’ve never seen these fittings at ace hardware. Please advise
