AN conclusion.....

As of 2 weeks ago, every line/hose on my rig is now Braided SS(except vacuum/AC)! It will be nice doing my trans work next week!

Engine oiler - SS
Transmission and cooler - SS
Power steering and cooler - SS
Fuel system - SS
Brake hoses - SS

So, did you do the trans after the line and hose upgrades?

Yes, the trans came about 2 yrs after I did the plumbing.
