Default transmission lines leaking vs transmission cooler confused as h----

the saga continues. Tranny lines leaked trans failed got new trans new trans lines? are leaking worse than before but what i don't get is if I install a transmission cooler it looks like I just cut he lines attach the new lines and new cooler but same old crimp points are still there? Is this correct and what will prevent those lines from continuing to leak.
my goal is to get a trnasmission cooler in and to not have any more leaking lines. Help!!!!

Did you get the new lines from the dealer under warranty? If so, bring it back and have them re-do it. My 2010 began leaking and I had them replaced under that soft recall that came out. No issues since.

I wouldn't even consider installing an extra cooler until you get your main lines to stop leaking. Once you cut into them yourself, any warranty you may have had on those lines is gone.

Default trans lines

Yeah I mentioned it to the dealer but he said no they weren't covered because the new ones were more than a year old. so now looking at replacement line but I figure what the heck I gotta replace the lines then I might as well get a cooler too.

Install a Cooler and splice in a new line ..I did both braided line and rubber hose ....Jeep wanted me to split the cost w the Dealer ...
...and the Dealer is installing same OEM line that's gonna leak again .....

That's a nice setup you have there⬆️⬆️⬆️. Wish I would've done that. I just did the normal splice using the barbs included in the kit. No leaks but if it does I'm doing it your way.
