Trailblazer and Envoy related, but not off-road related...

Just trying to figure out how hot the fluid can get. I got some line for my Pressure and the hose won't fit over any of the return connections. So now I have to get some new line and fittings and the hose that will work can only stand temperatures of 350*

It certainly shouldn't get hotter than that! I'd be surprised if it hit 200F.

Okay. I'm keeping the cooler. I read s fee places where the fluid got so hot it started to eat the lines.

Yeah, without the cooler, it can get pretty hot. With it, it's not bad.
