Transmission hose

[sledneck_03]

best way to fix the leaky ends? was going to cut the factory ends, new hose.... now whats the best longest lasting clamps? crimp style?

2010 ram 1500.

Slightly flare the ends and use transmission oil cooler hose and use the hipressure fuel injection clamps(gear clamps) .... Can always double clamp each end to make sure doesn't leak. Shouldn't have any problems after that, but you can get some aftermarket hoses from bumper to bumper, that are much improved over the stock oem hoses.....

We just cut thru (barely) the crimp rather than the whole tube, and break them (the crimps) off. Replace the hose (if necessary and like Ric said, use high pressure hose) and use gear clamps. The pipes are already flared this way.

Gear clamps, i looked this up, they are just hose clamps?

Dodge wanted $400 for new lines. $270 to fix old ones.

Local shop said $120. Im guessing, 1 hr shop time, hose, clamps, fluid.

May try it my self. Looks easy enough.

You can doo it.... Probably hours worth, but use the good hose clamps(fuel injector hose clamps -- or hi pressure hose clamps). Be sure to recheck and top up the fluid afterwards.
