How to Remove the Transmission Cooling Line on a 1996 Dodge Ram 1500

Removing the cooling lines from the transmission in your Dodge truck is an essential step in removing the transmission or transmission cooler. If you have a damaged transmission cooling line, youll need to remove it before you can install a new one. Transmission cooling lines are available from your Dodge dealer as well as from many auto parts stores. If you are working on your Rams transmission fluid cooler or transmission and the lines are in good shape, you can reuse them.

Instructions

1

Position a jack under the front of your Ram and raise it off the ground. Place a set of jack stands under the frame to support the truck, then remove the jack.

2

Slide an oil drain pan under the transmission cooler, under the front of the Ram. Slide a quick-disconnect tool onto the cooling line and slide it into the fitting, releasing the connector. Pull the line off the transmission cooler.

3

Follow the line back to the transmission and locate the fitting on the transmission case. Position another drain pan under this end of the line, then loosen the fitting on the line with a wrench.

4

Turn the fitting counterclockwise until it is free from the transmission, then carefully slide the line back and out from under the truck. Repeat the process on the second line if you need to remove it as well.
