It's so freakn' easy. from 1 - 10...I'll give it a 0 for difficulty. Buy extra hose about the same length (cheap). Cut off excess. The hardest part is mounting the cooler. I just tied mine - it's ugly LOL but who is gonna see it anyways.

U need another hose so it's easier to place your b&m cooler. With short hose, your limited. The hose will go from the B&M to the Tranny.

The one they provided is long enough to connect to the radiator or the tranny...it's just that when you cut it...it's not long enough to be used for both.

The reason I suggest another hose is to simplify installation. Plus the hose is cheap.

I guess they don't wanna worry about a leak... don't tighten too much

Just enough will do and inspect for leaks. I use rubber. That reminds me...I need to check to see if any rubbing of the hose.
