I have the vehicle listed above with the 4.0l SOHC and it comes with the 5R55S transmission. I have been looking to get a replacement transmission cooler line since the crimp fitting on the end of the line going into the left side of the radiator is cracked and I want to replace the line before it starts to leak. However, all the replacement lines I can find do not replace this particular line, replacements being for 6R60 transmissions. I am just wondering if anybody knows where I can look for a correct replacement, images provided. I could cut off the crimp and replace it with two hose clamps after flaring the end, but I would prefer an actual replacement as it's a high-pressure line. Photos provided you can see the cracked and corroded crimp on the second picture.

To fix this kind of problem you will need to cut off the outer part of the coupler and replace it with two hose clamps, I believe the barb is on the inner tube. If not, this line will need to be made or a new line from the dealer. Here are the instructions in the diagrams below to show you how to change the transmission cooling lines out I looked for a part number in AllData but they don't show it sorry. Check out the diagrams (below). Please let us know if you need anything else to get the problem fixed.
