Interesting. I've always been suspicious of those clamps and that would confirm my fears.

Yeah both of them. Been long over due, my trans is one I sourced from the junkyard as all aftermarket cheap stuff is shit and motor one spits out when shes hitting the high Rs. Theyre pimp :pimp:

Yeah, they have their place, but I was hoping they would hold up a bit better. Only driven the truck a handfull of times since I installed them. Im just going to bend them back strait and weld the bottom clamp up. Will just have to zip cut the weld when I have to remove it for now

I plan to change my trans cooler lines to rubber hydraulic lines. Swapped the pump fittings on the transmission to accept the new lines. Upped the line size by a bit also.
