Budget Turbo Yukon XL 4L80 Conversion: AN Line Conversion! Best Transmission Cooler Line Upgrade

What happens here

Once the AN hose is routed, mark the desired cut point and prepare to cut the hose. The video demonstrates using a specialized DW vise jaw tool to securely hold the AN hose without causing damage. The presenter then uses a reciprocating saw to make a clean cut. After cutting, attach the second AN fitting to the newly cut end of the hose, again ensuring the hose is fully seated and the collar is screwed on securely.

Goal: Finish assembling the AN lines.
