Ford tech makuloco of YouTube fame has been pounding the drum about the trans cooler lines failing at the quick connect on the engine bay side of the radiator. If one splits it seems to dump fluid so fast it kills a ~$6k transmission.

I’ve seen a few threads floating around about failure but wondering what others are seeing.

All 3 line sets seem to be a little under 300 bucks. I’m due for a 150k trans fluid/filter service anyway so debating if I should mess with em.

@13COBRA - you seeing any of this in your shop?

I'll run a report this morning when I get in... but I haven't seen it.

I have 125k on my 12 and the front rad support/ trans cooler assembly has been off twice, let’s not talk about that. But even after messing with them, no leaks at all
