so I git some time and figger hey lets git into runnin some coolant lines to the rear of the yota for the rad, with the v8 you can imagine it's purdy tight. For this to happen I needed to locate a pass. side suction water pump, walked around the yard and then promtly sent the boy to remove sought after part from ol stock car. freebie!
_The only route there is for this to happen is down the right side framerails, so into cutting off and removing all the little crap in the way, (brake lines, couple of brake line brackets). The tranny cooler lines were next which were fashioned by a monkey and attached to the right framerails by a dingus, clamps, a bracket or 3 and a guzzilion zip ties, . Yes it gets better, grab appropriate tubing wrenches zip under truck and think I'll just remove the lines/fittings from the tranny.

..WTF? never seen fittings so tight, not really caring about them knowing I was replacing them I didn't notice they were BRASS!!!!! well it really didn't take much and the first one I touched with a little force SNAP busted clean off in the tranny, FUCK!! so that took some fukkin around with an easy-out and a mini pair off v-grips!
_wouldn'tcha know it, the other one was loose, but must have been put on before the tranny was put toether 'cause i couldn't turn it more than 90 degrees before it hit the lil cover do dad. Out came the die grinder and I removed the 90degree part of the fitting that was hitting. Looks like a simple clean out off old parts took all afternoon all because some retard (previous, previous owner) spent his money on shitty brass bathroom fittings.
_Please everyone don't do this, if you can't find the fittings you need in the proper dimensions and in stainless let me know, I prolly have them in my truck. Next, installation of new plumbing hopefully with pix as soon as i figger out my new camera.

Izzer a terlet seat under the steerin wheel?

Stainless steel fittings in aluminum plus a drink of water...especially a bit of road salt mix = Galvanic corrosion... you think the brass was stuck.. try SS.
On a galvanic scale... alu and SS are separated a long ways... not good.
Yellow brass is fairly close to alu so is used often.
On that scale.. galvanized steel fittings are right next to alu so they are prefered.
You might get away with it if you use antiseize.
So other than that... how ya'll doin?
Make sure you got a back winda in that rig with the rad in the back. You don't wanna get scalded like a couple guys I've seen.

BTW.. not trying to be a smartass about this. I learned it the hard way. That 572 Rodeck I have.. I put a bunch of SS bolts in it. Being as how it was a mud buggy it saw lots of water. I payed dearly when I went to take the SS bolts out of the aluminum block and heads. Almost every frikkin one pulled all the threads out. Even the ones with antiseize.
A box of helicoils later...

fuk no man! thats gotta bring the price down.
trust me, i deal with all kinds of fittings all the time, and for my tranny application with ss fittings in the aluminum housing of the c4 ain't no big deal. If I use TF15, there'll be no worries unless I kook it too the point of combustion, (I'm very sure 'lumy melts before it gives out), no worries, I'm usin a couple swagelok straight's, there'll be no need to remove them agin anywho.
(shitty bout yer mill ol timer.)
