Default Help with Radiator Upgrade - quick question

I got an upgraded Radiator from Dewitts and I need to install it this week prior to a track event on Friday. BTW, the radiator is very high quality and looks great.

Does anyone have a part number on the Quick Connect fittings used to attach the stock engine oil cooler lines to the radiator? I'd love to order them tonight if possible.

I did a search, to no avail. Thanks in advance!

Default Connectors

I have a DeWitts radiator as well and they provided the connectors for an additional charge.

I need to find that out too. Check with the GM dealership parts counter and tell them you have the Z51 option radiator.

OK, here is the scoop. I did get a part number, but no dealers that I contacted have them in stock. A local dealer is ordering a pair of these and they will be in tomorrow.

The part number is 15190249 in case someone else is looking. Keep in mind, these are supposed to fit the stock EOC oil lines. Mine came from Tom with the radiator. Tom DID tell me when I ordered that I would need to get the fittings. I just didn't think that it would be this difficult to get them. Not sure if Pep Boys or NAPA carry anything that would work.

The problem is that there is an old style, and a new style. Supposedly, the old style is being discontinued. So, we shall see if they will work. If not, my car will be on the rack and unavailable for my track day.
