Coolent Leak and a confession

[JohnW63]

Can the LARGE brass fittings be removed and my original ones threaded back on the new radiator ?

I bypassed my radiator cooler/heater.

(Utter confusion)

Let's try this again...

The trans cooler lines go to fittings on the passenger side of the radiator. The flared lines and fitting actually go to an adapter first. The adapter can be backed out of the radiator. These adapters thread into the side of the radiator into wha loks to be a LARGE flat fitting. When you get a new radiator, those last fittings are already on the radiator. While they are a LARGE ( over 1 " easy ) hex fittings, I don't know that they are supposed to be removed or are permanent.

Does anybody know ?

Unsure, still...


SHOZ123... you are being sarcastic, right?!?

 

[SHOZ123]

Sorry, I bypassed my ATX radiator cooler/heater.

 

[SonicRiot]

Why?!?

ATX's have a cooler for a reason. I wish the MTXs came with coolers too.

 

[SHOZ123]

Because I have an OEM aux one (that is almost worthless) and two other aftermarket ones.

When you are running hard and your coolant gets over 220F it only heats up the already hot ATX fluid.

Well, an aftermarket cooler is a whole new story, now!
