Trans cooler pipe

[DISTURBED]

Has anyone found a place to get the trans cooler pipe that goes from the lower radiator hose around the back of the block and into the trans cooler, aftermarket? The cheapest I've found online is $700 for the 2 pieces of pipe and a hose that's a foot long.

What part numbers are you looking at? 2003-2005 are different than 2006-2007 IIRC.

Here is one of them. The front half is just as expensive

If it's the early setup, you should be able to convert over to the 2006+ setup and save money. It should only be 2 different pipes versus 3 pipes.

These should be the right part numbers according to the diagram on this website.
The 2006 has a bigger molded hose coming off the heat exchanger as well, I can't find the part number for that, though. The other straight pieces you can use the typical silicone heater hose.

I have 3 sets of the '06-'07s (2-piece steel).
2 are autos and 1 is manual.
All are very clean, rustwise.
