They will be OK for a while.

I would go 1/2" wide band clamps, two (double) over each barb fitting, going in opposite directions once you are satisfied you are going with that set up without changes. If you are going to change it up, then it don't matter.

 

"A penny saved..." could backfire!

 

Results are in, 205-208F max engine coolant temp, 165-170F max transmission temp. Took the same route as before, 105F ambient temp AC full blast... Before I was running 220-225F engine coolant temp, 230-235F transmission temp.

My transmission was running way too warm causing the engine to run warm as well. Installing the bypass transmission cooler solved both issues.

​​Thank you all for your valuable input specially @Doc Olds and @hummerz I'd buy you guys a beer 🍻

Lol now I need to get better hose clamps. I just used the stuff that came with the cooler.

 

What about ear clamps? Here's a photo I did on my BMW oil cooler lines with some AN fittings.

Question. Are the numbers listed in this chart run through the lines? Or, is the pressure regulated before it goes into the radiator/cooler?

From this weekend, first time on the dirt road 👍

Happy Transmission Temps mean Happy Coolant Temps.

Good job riding the problem into the ground to an excellent result.

 

Thanks Doc, driving problems into the ground is what I do, won't rest until it's solved.

Do you by chance know if the transmission pressure is regulated? The numbers Hummerz shared are quite high 300+ psi running through the lines is a bit unsettling. Or is that the internal pressure?

 

Line pressure is the same. Btw, driving> manual shift to 1, will produce 300psi+ @Redline.

 

OOF Ok, once I go back in to install the bypass I will get some ear hose clamps on there just to be safe. Although at this point I am thinking just running a hard line.
