I have an auxiliary transmission cooler on my 04 Mustang GT auto. I have rubber hoses and hose clamps right at the point where the stock solid cooler lines attach to the radiator. The rubber lines go to the aftermarket cooler. I measured the temperatures last winter and my transmission fluid would stay under 140* which I feel is way too cold. So I bought this remote oil cooler 180* thermostat from Summit Racing and need to install it. I need more rubber hose and connectors. I don't really know what kind of connectors or hose to ask for at O'Reilly's. What are they called? Just oil cooler line connectors? Is there some common term for them so the auto parts store knows exactly what I mean?
Remote Oil Thermostat with 3/8" NPT(int) Ports
What if I want to fabricate new solid lines to go from the transmission to the thermostat? What kind of solid lines do I ask for? I've seen the bending tool and it seems simple enough to do. What about the connectors? Do I need a flaring tool? I would like to make new solid lines so I don't trash the stock ones.
Any info or feedback would be great. Thanks.
