Radiator Wrong Fittings (Automatic 2003)
The issue I am having is both of the ports on the radiators (I first bought the quick disconnect and that didn't look correct so I swapped for the normal one which was also cheaper) for the transmission lines, the holes are too small on the new one. The metal screw in on the transmission lines are too big to screw in to the new radiator. Of course it screwed into the old radiator.
I'm not really sure of any of the sizes of the holes, I wasn't able to find any measurements anywhere.
I'm also not sure what the two brass fittings that came with the new radiator are for.
Here's the radiator I purchased: https://www.oreillyauto.com/detail/b...radiator&pos=1
I also tried the quick connect but just returned it and I don't even really understand the difference. The quick connect was $70 more for a different little brass fitting from what I could tell: https://www.oreillyauto.com/detail/b...radiator&pos=2
Does anybody know how to fix the issue? I would think that getting a different brass fitting to convert the smaller hole into the bigger one would be the solution, but I do not know the sizes or where to buy one, frankly I'm just inexperienced with these things. If you need any info just ask I'll get it.
Thank you guys! <3
EDIT:
I have the 2001-2004 line from this picture, and it's too big to fit into my radiator.
