2000 s10

Well my daily finally broke down. It went down due to a transmission fluid leak. One of the hard lines ended up getting a hole in it... it was rubbing against a electrical connector. I attached some pics.. I want to know if they sell the hard lines as a set or individual? Would I be able to do it myself or better left to the pros? Its the lower hard line that connects to the bottom of the radiator.

s10's are a dime a dozen at the salvage yards, should be able to pull one without much trouble and swap it out.

to can buy hard line at napa and cheap bender. that would be be easy to make.

or what i did was get a good quality rubber trans line and routed it. just cut a couple inches behind the end of the line and use good hose clamps and slip the rubber over the hard line. very easy and cost me $5. i went 60k miles before i sold it and it was still perfectly fine.

Thanks guys for the suggestions. I got it fixed, but now I found a new leak. The upper hard line that connects to the top of the radiator is stripped out... Looks like I'm going to be buying a new radiator, again. This is the 2nd one within 3yrs..

you gotta hate those aftermarket radiators with the brass adapters. such a pain to get them lined up perfectly.

Exactly..
Hopefully I'll have a new radiator by the weekend.
