Hi,
I went to do my trans service and I seen that I do not have adapter to hook to my trans flush machine the trans line that goes to the radiator is to big for the adapters I have. I was wondering if anybody has some old trans lines that they can cut the ends off where they go to the radiator. I would buy the ends if someone has them. This is for a 04 LB7 Thanks

Also, here's a link to Allison Service Tip 1099E (http://www.allisontransmission.com/servlet/DownloadOnDemand?ApplicationID=155&DownloadID=5) (1000 Series used in GM pickups) ...

FWIW, note the following quote ...
"Flushing Machines are not recommended or recognized due to variation and inconsistencies with ensuring removal of 100% of theused fluid."
