Trans cooler fitting size?

just below the radiator cap. I am replacing with a brass 90deg fitting and rubber hose so I can rotate the orange hose over for a k&n. With the stock hard line in the way it is nearly impossible to make the tube reach.

I believe 5/16ths hose is needed to do what you are doing.

I have the 5/16 hose but what size fitting do I need

Re: Trans cooler fitting size?

rpm has 2 of them on their site. 3/8 and 5/16. Do I have to use a -5an or will a standard size work as well? I also need a coupler for the schrader valve on the fuel rail to my autometer sender. Anyone know where to find that as well.

the radiator is 5/16" inverted flare. or 1/2-20 with an o-ring. If you're splicing into your factory lines you will want the one with the 5/16" hose barb. If you are going from the fitting to a trans cooler then you will want the 3/8" barb.

As for the fuel rail, it is 4an and we have the female couplers in stock (usually sold with the 1.5" gauge) You may also consider a small piece of braided hose so the sender/gauge is not attached directly to the rail. Vibrations have been know to make the fuel rail crack.
