All hoses connected to radiator list? Diagram?

    I'm sure this is out there somewhere, but my searches aren't getting me anywhere. I'm replacing my radiator next week, along with thermostat and gasket, and the upper and lower radiator hoses. But while I was under my truck changing the oil for the first time, I noticed some smaller diameter hoses going into the radiator, and they look pretty old and corroded. This is my first auto tranny. I'm assuming these are transmission lines? Does anyone have the info I'd need to get them all replaced? I can probably just walk into NAPA and get the info, but depending on who's at the counter, I could just as easily get a blank stare, since I don't know exactly what I'm asking for.

    Any help?

    Correct. Get some transmission line from autozone. It's like $3-6 a foot. I can't remember. They have tons of different sizes. So I'd recommend taking them with you and just matching it up.

    Oh ok. I was thinking of exact-fit stuff, ready to go, but that's not a bad route either. Except it's a bit of a long bike ride from my place to the parts store. In my town, the NAPA is very small. They don't carry a whole lot in stock. They can get most things in the next morning, but I'd want to avoid a bunch of bicycle trips. I'd rather know what hoses I'm going to replace, and have those hoses on hand when I start the job.

    Guess I can measure them all and get a total length. Looking at the photos, these hoses seem to be pretty flexible? You just route them at whatever bend you need? Not like a molded upper or lower radiator hose that crease if you bend them?

    Yea. I used it to replace my PS hose. Has a S-turn, it's not as pronounced in the new hose but it works.
    Also I'm pretty sure most LAPS deliver homie. Just take some measure measurements.

    or get an Uber? Lol

    Order everything, including the radiator from Rock Auto and you'll have it all on hand when you do the job. No bike trips required.

    Uber doesn't exist in my town. But yes this is all surmountable. But I think more like Azblue. Have everything on hand to do the job before starting the job.

    I ordered everything else from RockAuto. But now it's all going to be here by Monday so I don't want to wait another week if I order from them again. So NAPA. Just need to know what I'm asking for. If those hoses going in the bottom of the radiator are transmission fluid hoses, that'll be enough that they'll know what I'm talking about.

    The NAPA here can have pretty much any part I want first thing the next morning. To their shop, not my doorstep. That's where I'm at. All other parts already ordered, some already on hand, just realized I should replace more parts while I'm there, going with NAPA because they'll have them on hand the next morning with zero shipping cost for me.

    At both Autozone online and NAPA online, it looks like what they actually sell is bulk power steering fluid hose. I guess since our power steering units use ATF, it's silly to ask the question "can I use power steering fluid line for my transmission lines..."?

    Swung by NAPA but they weren't open so I went back to some online searching. I'll stop back by the store Monday. I can order them all from Toyota, for $200...or NAPA for $3/foot. Definitely going NAPA!

    And since this is what I was originally searching for and having trouble finding, here's the diagram of the hoses from Toyota. 2, 3, 5, 6 and 7 appear to be the soft hose I'm looking to replace.
