I just did mine this past weekend. This video was very helpful so thank you. I struggled to get the old lines out so what I did was basically disassemble the lines on the truck. I took off all the clips, and clamps that held them together and separated into individual lines. I then dropped the sway bar and they slid right out. I did the same to the new line set and slid each one in separately. They went in with ease.
My 2015 is at the stealership right now for this job. Going to cost me about $800. I'm getting "hosed" for sure. This includes new trans filter, seal & refill though. I just don't have time and am getting too old to fight under trucks. I still change my oil but even that sometimes makes the old muscles sore. Good days work young man.
I know this is 1 year old video but very helpful. I’ve got the 5.0 v8 model and it’s totally backwards compared to yours! The one hole bracket fits onto front piece on frame.
Good video sir. For most I would replace those 2 lines that connect up front as well. Those are also prone to failure and are not very much $ and you also dont need the tool mentioned if you do so. A real shame that it appears so many f150 have the potential to destroy there transmissions because of this. I caught mine between oil changes before it leaked but it would have been a complete failure not just a drip. Those lines will dump it all out real quick when they break.
Same here, seen small leak. Closer inspection the pressed metal shoulder going from disconnect to hose had split. Well I changed everything. Lines, all of them. Cooler, mount stud. What was your trick to feed the lines through to the front? The front motor mount bracket I lightly bent it towards the back of the truck. That's heavy stainless a little fudging didn't hurt it and went right through! I ended up refilling with mercon lv almost 10 quarts.
I took the plastic clips off of it and ended up turning the opposite way it installs to feed it thru to the front then I turned it back around & installed. Mine took about 4 quarts to get it back to full.
This will not work for a 2 . 7 ecoboost. I had to disassemble the 2 lines completely. At the end that connects to the trans with the bracket, I had to break the lock ring/washer to take the 2 lines apart. I replaced it with a retaining ring from local hardware store. For me The line was impossible to feed through when both lines were connected.

Bro I have a 2013 and all I need to do is replace that tiny line in the front that has a cracked crimp and I'm scared that I'm gonna do exactly this 5:59 when I tug on those aluminum connectors.
@@TH-camCert after about 5 hours of fiddling with that tool, I managed to just pop it off without breaking the connector. The new line is on and everything is working well! Your video helped out so much thank you!
Would love to be a fly on the wall of these manufacturers R&D rooms. It sure seems like they design their components/parts to fail inorder to sell more extended warranties, etc.
@@TH-camCert I changed my fluid and filter at 60k mi. I put aftermarket pan on that has a drain plug in it to make the process easier when I do it again at 120K.
It didn’t look any different but that doesn’t mean they didn’t use a different metallurgy recipe…but idk, I can tell you that mine still looks good & hasn’t leaked.
Wow this was great, thanks so much for sharing. My 07 Expedition is the same, no leak yet but wanting to do this job. One question - you ended up both removing the lines and reinstalling from the trans side (pulling them out from the back side, and re-installing from the back side) right? With the 'twist' and removal of front clip making that easier... Correct? Thanks again
Yes that is all correct. I found it easier to pull them from the trans side of the truck. Removing the clips and it easier to maneuver them to the front of the truck.
I just changed out my transmission lines, I'd advise to change out all 3 lines, mine looked ok, until I pulled them out, and in one section there was a rust spot, which is a weak point, I couldn't see it until I removed the original lines running into the radiator, just saying, might as well change all 3 lines, and the lead valve plate panel inside the 6R80 transmission has issues, going down the highway, suddenly drops down into low gear ,which can cause a accident or destroy the transmission, another FORD PROBLEM IDENTIFIED. 😮
Amazon sells them and I bought them. Didn't work. BUT, I used two tiny flat-head screwdrivers & disconnected the line within a few seconds. The "special" tools are a very bad design, no matter the company they come from. Two tiny screwdrivers did the job, like I said, in a few seconds. I returned the "special" tools, btw. Doing the job myself cost me
My Tacoma had so many issues my son nicknamed it the Lemona. That junk spent more time on the dealerships lift than it did in our garage. My wife's Rav4 has water leaking down the inside of the windshield AND the rear hatch... so great in the wintertime. All manufacturers are putting out subpar products these days guys.
Pretty straight forward, it’s a pain in the a$$ both ways. I think I ended up turning the lines till I got them to the front, then turned them the correct direction. I removed black plastic spacer clips to make it easier. Hope that helps!
@@TH-camCert Yes it definitely did I actually ended up taking off the front metal clip as well after working with it for two days straight. once I took the metal clip off it slide right into place. I was trying so hard not to bend the lines because I knew once they were bent they were done.
Good catch on finding that leak. Another big ford repair channel had a recent video about how these lines can snap while driving and destroying these mostly reliable transmissions.
@@TH-camCert oh it did. I crawled under and looked watched it literally leaking like a facet I should put the video up. Seems this is a common issue with the later f150's. Let the dealership fix it, since its under warranty.
@@bigphillyed yeah, share it and tag it! It does seem really common. Just curious, Do you do a lot of automatic car washes, with undercarriage sprayers?
seems like Ford knows this is a problem, but never addressed it, I need to look at my 2015 Plat. cuz a $7 tranny replace would make me Bullshit, this guy is luck to catch it early, there's Ford Tech Makuloco

Yeah, I understand that. It would sure be nice to have a lift. Thank you for the kind words!
U got that rite stealership n we keep goin back for more !! ??
Nice man,thanks for the video, exactly the same problem, same milage same engine
Glad it helped
Thank you for this video I have a 2017 leaking I’m going to try my self after this video!
Did it work? Think 2017s had 10 speeds not sure if it’s the same?

Thanks for the feedback, I haven’t had the pleasure of working on a 5.0
did you need the special tool on yours Nicholas?
@@TheChaztor yep same tool! But now I’ve got bigger problem. My intake manifold needs replaced and their out and no eta! Smh
@@nicholaswheeler5119 So weird, I ended doing mine today. No tool needed. 2016 5.0 4X4. Sucks about the intake, when it rains it pours
EXCAT same thing for me 2015 5.0 f150 oil cooler and lines $3371 !
Getting it towed to another garage this morning…
From Gatineau,Quebec
That’s pricey AF!

Yessir, I stumbled across a few posts where ppl did dump it all without noticing and bricked their trannys.
Like the encouraging life changing music🎉
lol, that’s what I was going for!
Wow nice work brother😮😮😮

Where did you get your transmission lines?
Dealership
@@TH-camCert Bought this exact line in ns, canada today from the dealership for 332$.. crazy.. thanks for the video.
Thank you 🇺🇸
Very welcome

Yeah, probably just a bunch of college kids that have never worked on anything, just read books that tell them how things should work.
And to make us go to the dealers for repairs and pay hundreds of times what the cost would be if we DIYd the job ourselves.
@@rodneyjhackenflash4865 and not only that, but everyone seems to be short staffed & your usually looking at month to get into a garage.
@@TH-camCert TRUE! TRUE!
If u enjoyed that wait til u change the trans fluid n filter !! N don’t wait til 150 k to do it. Lmk if u get another fluid bath.
Did it at 45k-ish, I shot it on a different camera and can’t find the footage.
@@TH-camCert I changed my fluid and filter at 60k mi. I put aftermarket pan on that has a drain plug in it to make the process easier when I do it again at 120K.
Nice, I’m at 110 and planning on doing mine soon. Drain bolt would be nice, I’d also like the dipstick but can’t justify the money 💰 for them.
Thanks for sharing. How long do you think this took you?
Raining out that day so little longer than anticipated but 2 hrs with filming not including refill & fluid level check.
Did Ford improve the quality on that line or can you expect the new one to start leaking later on also?
It didn’t look any different but that doesn’t mean they didn’t use a different metallurgy recipe…but idk, I can tell you that mine still looks good & hasn’t leaked.
