I checked at Cortese Dodge here in ROC, and found out that Mopar calls
it "one piece" from the trans to the radiator. I don't want to think
of the hell that it must be to navigate a hard line that long out and
in. it's either $61 or $26 depending whether it's pressure or return.
Not a bad price, but a 10 foot solid section of line would not be a Fun
Thing To Deal With.

I don't think I can get away without flaring the existing line. I
should be able to pick up a 45вк flare tool at Sears. I have hose and
barb fittings and hose clamps from the oil filter kit, but I need to
pick up flare nuts and NPT adaptors to complete that. Will my favorite
Ace have that sort of thing? I've never bought anything quite like
that.....
