Budget Turbo Yukon XL 4L80 Conversion: AN Line Conversion! Best Transmission Cooler Line Upgrade

In this episode myself and Logan make some -6 AN lines for the new 4l80e in Uncle Rob using Redhorse Performance lines and fittings. We go over the complete parts list of everything you need and explain the TWO different 4l80e case styles, how to tell which one you have, and which fittings you need for the conversion!
We appreciate you guys so much. Doing something as simple as transmission lines becomes fun when doing it with people you enjoy. When we work on things we feel like you guys are there with us learning and laughing too. If you are actually reading this...you are the ones we do it for.

I hope you guys learned something from this video and enjoyed hanging out with us. If I’m being honest the lack of racing and traveling is really beating me up. We are doing the best we can to get uncle rob out there on the road so you guys can see him in your hometown. Just in here grinding. It’s not always pretty and not always exciting…for that reason I know YOU GUYS are the realest of the real and I love turning that GoPro on knowing we relate to good people. People who understand and admire the gritty process and not just the flash. We are grateful to be here for you 🤟🏻 Merch Link: Stapletonautoworks.com

I come to your channel because I like learning stuff and mechanicing stuff is cool. I know a lot but sometimes learning is still very important. I stay because the humor is dry and sarcastic and I approve so much of that. Because it's a lot like mine. The banter between my lady and I while we are working on stuff it's so ridiculously similar to what you and Logan say it absolutely is funny. Keep it up you guys do a service to the internet, and it is a good one

Dash-anything is 16ths of an inch, AN is also the same as JIC if you need something in a pinch and don’t have summit down the road.

[@morgan2678]

Also, one other suggestion-when making a pain of lines like your trans cooler I will use a very long hose and put my 90s on both ends then route the pair how I need them and mark/cut both of them at the same time. This allows for only a single piece of excess hose and possibly being able to install the field fittings in place
