So my 205k mi suburban put me on the side of the interstate yesterday. A trans cooler line came off at the oil cooler. It's an aftermarket cooler with rubber hose pushed onto the barbed fitting pictured below. Obviously I didnt tighten the worm screw hose clamp enough... Guess I was afraid the end of the hose wouldn't hold up.
There's a couple options for a permanent fix and I'd appreciate your input!
1) Tighten the crap out of the worm gear hose clamp that's on there and keep an eye on the hose.
2) Get a pack of these smooth-inside hose clamps: $15/92pc Amazon
3) Upgrade to braided nylon or steel hoses and cobble together 6AN and NTP connections to the cooler $60 Amazon $200 Summit Racing
Any other approaches that you like?
