Trans cooler barbs

[Jaketino]

I just picked up a Tru Cool 4490 trans cooler but it didn't come with any other pieces. I was planning on going to Parkrose hardware and get some hose but I don't know what hose to get along with what size barbs that usually come with it. Anyone use these before and know what size it is? Couldn't find anything online (could have been looking in the wrong place though).

I have the Tru Cool 4590 installed on my truck and I just used 3/8" transmission hose and clamps.

UPDATE: Amazon Link for 4490: Click Me

Looks like 3/8" in Product description.

Yes, you'd do better to go to an auto parts store and get hose rated for transmission fluid, as oils will break down hoses not made for oils (like water hoses, even automotive water hoses). With 'hardware store' hose (water hose) you'll probably have small pieces of rubber from inside the hose floating around in your transmission fluid before long causing all sorts of problems.
