Anyway now the van runs great again but I found a funny thing I don't know why when I removed the bottom line and started the engine I was waiting for fluid to start coming out of the extension hose and then I realized fluid was coming out of the transmission! So I cleaned everything, plugged back in the line and unplugged the TOP line, this was the correct one and when I started the engine after a few seconds fluid started to come out of it.
It's weird, everyone else uses the bottom line; any comments about it?

That is extremely odd. The only thing I can think of is, when you saw fluid from the trans, it's because you didn't have the hole where the line came from plugged, so it flowed out. The top line is the feed line (that's what I call it), that feeds fluid to the cooler, then it comes out of the cooler and back into the trans from the bottom line. I have no idea why yours worked the way it did. Your van is a 2000 like mine. I am stumped. Someone smarter than me needs to chime in here.
