On of my tranny cooler lines near the radiator is leaking. Im out of waranty at 38k miles. I have an extended service plan which conveniently (for the dealer) does not cover "hoses", and this part is considered a hose. Anyone have this problem and fix it themself?? The leak is where the steel line is crimped to a rubber hose. I guess that crimp connection is no good...

Dealer wants $250 for repair. Help me out!! Thanks

 

The pressure and return lines for the auto JK are sold as a set and I bought a set from Mopar Parts America for around $45. Took about two hours to replace in my garage but just because of those darn retaining clips and I was doing a fancy tranny cooler installation at the same time.

 

I know there is a special tool to replace those clips...I wonder if auto zone or another parts place rents that tool...
