Hi gang, well, I'm kind of between a rock and a hard place. Against my better judgement we used rubber lines to supply the tranny from the radiator. Even though I built a makeshift heat shield from an old downpipe Shield, at least one of the lines blew back at the transmission. It's too hot for me to touch right now and I have to change to get under the truck and in the puddle... So, is anyone in Beaumont Tx? Furthermore do you have access to metal e4od lines? Or at least have the supplies to fabricate from the transmission past the downpipe? I've got to pick my wife up at the Jacksonville Florida airport at 11 pm Eastern Time... It's not looking good...

Until you get under there to look, the possibilities are endless. Loose clamp, burnt hose, hole rubbed in it, etc.
What's the reasoning behind using the rubber line? What was wrong with the stock line?

In the event that I am able to get it patched up so that it won't blow again I found some multi-purpose Road Tech automatic transmission fluid anyone know if it will work? It says that it is rated for all Mercon performance levels. Also, capacity is 10 Q?
