OT transmission lines OT

My son-in-law has a '92 Dodge Ramcharger 4WD 5.2 liter and auto. He needs pre-bent tranny lines. I've been to the dealer and a guy says all he can get is a roll of tubing and you have to bend everything yourself. It doesn't sound right to me. Anywhere I can get pre-bent lines. I've checked for hours and can't find anything.

Probably best bet is to call the wrecking yards for some good original lines.. The truck most likely is too old for NOS dealer parts. Otherwise splice the bad parts with steel tube or hack it with high quality rubber hose.-or call a tranny shop and ask them about options? Is this a restoration of sorts or just a repair?

Just a repair

I'd just do a good splice job.

Any reason you cannot bend new lines? It is easy to do.

Well..... I was in Boone, N.C. for a week and checked out his truck the last day I was there. He's not really mechanicly inclined. I didn't realize they don't come pre-bent anymore. I told him to get somebody to come to the truck and put lines on it. If I would of had an extra day I would have done it myself. As a matter of fact, I just got back about an hour and a half ago.....
