Hey guys ive been having a hell of a week, and need some advice/input...

My power steering died on me, so i baught a new pump($65) The idiot at autozone told me to break the pulley off cuz the new pump came with a pulley. Sure enough the idiot was wrong so i had to get a new pulley (20 bucks, but autozone refunded it cuz the guy told me to break mine).

Next problem...

I left a wrench in my bay, and it went right through my radiator and put a hole in it and cracked my fan. Baught a new radiator($140) and a new fan ($90). Had about 100 problems with it because the trans lines dont fit in right. I had to cut my lines and put new ones on with a hose connecter, and an adaptor so the mushroomed end of the trans line would go all the way in and close the seal. However, its still leaking a little bit, and nobody has a line that will fit correctly.

My main question is... Does anybody know a way i can seal off the trans lines running into the radiator?

Any input would be appreciated i am having the worst week ever, and all together somehow ended up blowing close to 400 dollars just to replace my power steering pump[:@]

I hate to say this, but you may want to visit Ford, or a local shop on this one.

 

You could try to fabricate new lines. If you can get the fittings and a tube bender and line swedger (probably rentable) your on your way.

 

You should not have cut those lines, they are quick connect fittings, the fittings are like 3 bucks for the pair from ford. I even keep some, cause the main thing I sell all day is rads. At this point, without buying a set from ford, Down by the k-member there should be a split in the lineset with hoses. You can get some from a salvage yard from there forward and replace them, or take from that split to an aftermarket trans-cooler (Better for you anyway).
