Default Rad Replacement was fairly easy...but
Got the old out and new one in .... only thing is the lower tranny line was a problem getting out....ended up twisting the line in the "bend".maybe about 1/3 if that gives you a picture.. re-installed into the new rad...seems ok but just wanted you guys thoughts on this...should I replace tranny line? I know hard to tell without seeing but worth a shot.

Replace it, no quicker way to fry an automatic than to have it run hot.

Was afraid of that....was hoping it would make it to the shop about 20 mile drive...don't think I'm set up to change myself.

Thanks for the reply!
