COOLER BACK FLUSHING PROCEDURE
ALWAYS FLUSH THE RADIATOR COOLER BEFORE INSTALLING THE FILTER KIT.
Do Not Bypass This Procedure.
| a) |
Raise the vehicle and remove the 7 bolts, securing the front lower splash guard. Place
a drain pan under the hoses to collect drained ATF. |
| b) |
Disconnect ATF cooler hose (A) and (B) from the steel pipes. (See Figure 1.) |
| c) |
Using a can of ATF and a funnel, fill cooler hose
(B). |
| d) |
Cooler inlet hose (A) should be aimed down into the drain pan. |
| e) |
Apply compressed air into hose (B) using a safety blow gun to back flush the ATF
cooler (required air pressure 57 lbs. or higher). Repeat this procedure three times or
more as needed. (See Figure 2.) |
PRE-INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR FILTER AND HOSE KIT
| a) |
Remove and discard the cooler inlet and outlet hoses at the radiator. Remove the two
hoses on the transmission side. Save the clamps for reuse, however, some new clamps may be
required. Then remove and discard the three bolts securing the left tie down hook. (See
Figure 3.) |
FILTER BRACKET INSTALLATION
| a) |
Place the tie-down hook back into position and install the filter bracket on top of
the tie-down hook. Using the three "new" bolts supplied in the kit, secure the
bracket and torque the bolts to 50 (ft.lbs.). |
FILTER HOSE INSTALLATION
| a) |
Install hose (D) on the "out" pipe of the filter and hose (C) onto the
"in" pipe of the filter. Make sure the chafe protector is in its correct
position. (See Figure 4.) |
FILTER TO BRACKET INSTALLATION
| a) |
Position the filter with the arrow pointing to the left frame rail. The outlet hose
must be on top. Clamp the filter to the bracket and make sure the clamp is around the
rubber protector on the filter. (See Figure 5.) |
FILTER OUTLET HOSE TO COOLER INSTALLATION
| a) |
Install hose (D) onto the cooler inlet pipe of the radiator. Secure the hose in the
clip on the radiator. (See Figure 6.) |
FILTER INLET HOSE TO TRANSMISSION PIPING INSTALLATION
| a) |
Install hose (C) onto the transmission outlet pipe. (See Figure 6.) |
| b) |
Make sure the chafe protector is in its correct position over top of the lower radiator hose. |
COOLER OUTLET BOSE TO TRANSMISSION PIPING INSTALLATION
| a) |
Install the cooler outlet hose (B),from the radiator outlet pipe to the transmission
inlet piping. Reuse the clip which holds the inlet and outlet hose together. (See Figure
7.) |
TRANSMISSION SIDE INLET AND OUTLET HOSE INSTALLATION
| a) |
Install the two remaining hoses on the inlet and outlet pipes on the transmission
side. (See Figure 8.) |
STARTING AND INSPECTION
| a) |
Start the engine and inspect the filter and hoses for leak. Tighten the hose clamps as
necessary. Also, make sure all hoses are not kinked or restricted in any way. Check the
transmission oil level and add, if necessary. |
| b) |
Reinstall the front lower splash guard in the reverse order of removal. |
