The trans cooler lines were puking oil after all said and done. I bent/mangled them getting the oil pan out. The compression fittings I used to splice the 4L80 lines to the trucks TH400 lines were leaking. They were hitting the exhaust crossover, rubbing the oil filter and just generally driving me crazy. I cut them all out and used -6 braided hose from the trans all the way to the radiator. I used a pair of 120° hose ends to loop the lines over the top of the trans. Worked great.

Quick video rollin down the highway. As said before, it's a totally different ride. Amazing what a few lbs of boost will do.
