    I'm looking for someone that might have a source for the multi-colored transmission air lines for an Eaton 13speed?

    I have red/blue/green/black/brown but the dimwit that replaced these last time used the wrong size tubing.

    I stopped at KW and FreighShaker and both only carry one color.
    Black.
    Ideally Im looking for all of them in a sheath but would be OK buying individual colored lines too.

    I didn't think size really mattered...?

    Check your local auto parts store.

    Yea, in this case it does.
    No one here in town stocks anything but black. All black.
    I will keep searching online...

    Any heavy duty trans shop should be able to get it for you I can give you the number to the shop we get ours in bulk from there in l.a but shipping shouldn't be to bad since its light

    Why does it have to be 5/32"? Might want to check some come factory with bigger depending on trans I guess.

    I got to laugh.... I would've thought JD had checked there first. I still can't believe the dealer didn't have it.

    Eaton 13/18 speeds are spec'd at 5/32".
    Eaton 9/10 speeds are spec'd at 1/8".

    I swear everytime I do something simple on this truck it's like kicking over
    a stone and finding a SCORPION under it.
