Ok, here is where I am now. Replaced the H2O pump.....no sweat.
Called DTT to order the trans. lines. They told me they could not beat the Dealer after shipping. That's fine, so I said could they at least give me the Chrysler part numbers to save me some time at the counter. I figure they would know if anyone would. Got'em and off to the shop. Ordered them....of course they were not in stock. Picked them up and took them home. Changed trans filter and gasket. In bottom of pan were tiny little flecks of what I took to be aluminum. Not stuck to the magnet. Didn't look real serious. Took all the lines off only to discover that none of the fittings were the same as the old ones. I replaced one a while ago on a gas truck that had an "updated" fitting. All the originals I removed had quick connect type fittings. All the ones I bought have threaded fittings. Are these "updated" lines? I layed them side by side and they all are a perfect match for one another other than the fittings. Now I have to try to get fitting to connect these damn things to the trans and the cooler up under the exhaust manifold. Should I have gotten the new connections with the new lines? Were they supposed to tell me this when replacing the lines with new ones?
For three hundred bucks you think they would give you what you need.
Anyone run into this beforew?

Anyone could shed some light on this I would really appreciate it.
