Ford f150 oil cooler line

[Baveux]

Looking at replacing the tranny oil cooler line/tube.

Is there a lots of pressure in there ?

Can one replace all steel tube with rubber hose compatible with tranny oil ?

Thanks

I would stick with the factory steel. Cheaper than having rubber fail.

Typically the pressure in the cooler lines isn't very high. You'll need a hose that can take the temperature >150*F) and the vibration.

I’ve used rubber lines in places for many years without troubles. Had one fail once decades ago.

Certainly not as desireable as hard lines, especially for long runs… but they work.

Use hose rated for PSF (reinforced) if you’re going to do that.
