No waiting for tomorrow when I get paid. I also didn't know what fittings to buy cause I don't know what my cooler is setup as.
Here is the fitting, the right side is where my lines connect, can anyone identify it? Pretty sure it's -an fitting.
Yup, it's -8an I should have paid attention to when the lines were being made or kept the reciept, now I can buy a cooler.
What the difference between AN and jic? I use jic at my work and as far as I can tell they are identical. They even list the sizing the same way, by 16th's
Tried to strip the orange off and it wasn't coming off easy so I scuffed it and shot it with some left over aluminum paint.
AN is 37° flare, JIC can be. AN fittings are built to tighter tolerances.
Yup, the way it was explained to me is that AN is built to an aircraft grade tolerance. JIC is basically exactly the same and cheaper, and plenty good for anything else.
Yes.Wait...did you just paint aluminum to look like aluminum?
What do you guys think about this cooler?

I found a good write up on this when I was doing my fuel system. I'll see if I can find it. But IIRC ^^^this is correct. Hey look at that I stayed on topic!!!
Trans is bolted to the block, leaving here in a bit to watch a baseball game and fireworks and drink Bud Weiser cause it's independence day and nothing screams America like working on a truck, baseball, fire works and beer.

"AN fittings are 37 degree flare and JIC come in both 37 and 45 degree. AN fittings were developed by the Air Force and Navy (hence AN) and are supposed to be manfactured to tighter tolerances than JIC. The differance has to do with the tolerances of the threads, although the exact differances I don't know. From what I have delt with AN fittings are used in aerospase and racing. JIC is used in industrial applactions.
I have used JIC and AN fittings together many times with no problems. Just make sure they are both 37 degree, or you will have problems. I think most JIC fittings are steel and AN fittings are alum, I have never had a problem here either but a little antiseize might not hurt.
Most local hose places stock JIC fittings. I have found its easier not telling them I am using thier fittings with AN fittings, they seem to get all butt hurt when they find out."

erale&pi=SL75_QL70&keywords=derale+transmission+coolerI have used it on lots of rigs. Never on my own but in 4 early broncos i helped or did auto swaps on
Good quality piece?
Thanks for the info!
I just hope it's all good info! From what I remember it worked for what I was doing?
