Dando Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 So after replacing the quick disconnects it still have a leak in my transmission lines at the transmission. I am tired of fighting this, until this current leak I had a leak free and clean truck. It's driving me insane. I am currently sitting in an airport waiting for a flight and I'm trying to plan out and order the parts pieces and hoses to convert the aw4 to not needing the quick disconnects. My truck is a 90 MJ 4.0 with a 95 XJ aw4 and transfer case, I also have the factory radiator in place and the factory trans cooler. I know that I will be ordering the 14mm x 1.5 to -6AN adapter for the trans side but whT do I need for the radiator and then the cooler if I want to replace the whole trans line assortment with AN hoses? I can't look at my MJ and measure for the next 12 days but would love to have the parts waiting for me when I get home . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dando Posted August 23, 2014 Author Share Posted August 23, 2014 Bump, really hoping someone knows the sizes I need so I can get this stuff ordered, my MJ is my dd and at the moment if I went home I wouldn't want to drive it and risk the trans fluid starting a fire with it leaking directly onto the burning exhaust.

ScottJeep Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 Well.... I think this has been done.....by me :brows: WOW I have an opportunity to actually supply a SOLUTION! :banana: Check this out.... Had this mess.... Made my NEVER AGAIN QUICK DISCONNECT REPLACEMENT with this From the local CarQuest store ( the only around here that is still pretty old school and has a machine shop in the basement ). This is what my stuff looked like on the bench/floor. So the replacement has worked FLAWLESSLY... Sorry this next picture sucks.... Best part is saying GOOD-BYE to this leaky POS.... AND....one of these is handy if you can find....borrowed from a great friend....I think he purchased off of Amazon. GOOD LUCK! Safe Travels!

Dando Posted August 25, 2014 Author Share Posted August 25, 2014 Thanks Scott jeep, I think there may have been a miscommunication on my end. I am not trying to flare and repair any of the existing trans lines. I want to replace them entirely. What I need to know is what is the thread size where those lines thread into the radiator.

ScottJeep Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 Ahhhhhh..... well at least you have an OPTION. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yxmj Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 If you go by this http://www.dormanproducts.com/itemdetail.aspx?ProductID=28973&SEName=800-714 It is 3/8..........is that what you are asking? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dando Posted August 25, 2014 Author Share Posted August 25, 2014 I greatly appreciate everyone's help this far, but I think I am truly not getting my point across. The dorman part that was just posted is the transmission side quick connect and I will be replacing that with a 14mm 1.5 to -6AN adapter, then I want to run -6an hose from that towards the radiator. At the radiator the stock line threads into ports at the lower part of the radiator. I need to know the thread size at the radiator. You can almost see what I'm talking about in the first picture scottjeep posted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MuddFoot Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 i just tried to pull the lower connector out of the radiator good luck i had 2 bad radiators in my shop and both i couldn't get out id ether use a compression fiting on it or a good set of hose clamps. i went out to look since know one else new what your trying to do. looks like 5/16 or maybe 3/8 line note mine were factory radiators no nut just the barb fiting sticking out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dando Posted August 25, 2014 Author Share Posted August 25, 2014 As far as I know yes it is a 3/8 line. I'm sure if there is a threaded connection on my radiator I will be able to remove it simply, the truck is incredibly clean and nothing has given my any problems yet. On my 95xj I have replaced the radiator twice and both times I just threaded the connector out and placed it into the new radiator. I have never had it been a non removable part of the radiator. Is it simply an HO vs renix thing? If so I will swap to open cooling if that's what I have to do to make these lines the way I would like. Thanks to everyone for their help. I appreciate all of it. I will keep researching and hopefully I find it before I get back to my truck but if not I will figure it out then and post back to hopefully help anyone in the future.

MuddFoot Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 i also have been thinking about this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dando Posted August 26, 2014 Author Share Posted August 26, 2014 Muddfoot, hopefully we can get this figured out then between the two of us so that maybe hose clamps and leaky lines can become a thing of the past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnyc Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 I'm also doing this mod. I have the 14 mm AN fittings for the tranny. And a buddy gave me a tranny cooler with -6 fittings. I'm going to run braided hose straight to the cooler, bypassing the radiator. I just need to figure out how much hose I need to buy. So I guess this has nothing to do whatsoever with what you're asking. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
