Question:

The transmission fluid cooling line on my 2002 trailblazer (LTZ) has a hole.?

There are 2 lines that run under the vehicle and they are very close to the exhaust pipe (they both have an aluminum type cloth heat sheilds)The line with the hole is up aginst the catconverter and that has burnt through the sheild and the tubeThere is absolutely no sign of damage.like I ran over something to bend the pipeEven the dealershipe is at a loss to explain how the tube came into contact with the exhaust pipeAnyone had a similar experience? Is this a design flaw? The extended warranty cowon't pay for the repair.

Answer:

see if you can get the line off,if you can replace it.if you cant,try finding the hole and see if you got enough line,where you can take a small tubing cutter and cut the line and put a compression fitting in the line.
