I have a 97 2500 v10 and am replacing the radiator this weekend due to multiple stress cracks in side tanks. Looks fairly easy except it looks like one of the AT cooler lines has a broken release clamp? on it. Do they sell those clamps? Any problems I should expect?
Does anyone know where I can get a parts breakdown for my ride?

Thanks!!

 

dealer does not sell the quickdisconnect seprately may be able to find after market though

 

Perfect time for a tranny cooler install !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

yeah, ditch the rad cooler and go with the biggest aftermarket one that you can get.

 

I have have a small leak in my radiator and I am thinking of replacing it. I have only one question about the removal, the lower transmission line connection at the radiator confuses me. I have no clue which connection to undo.
The red arrow is a type of connection that I have no clue how to undo.
The blue arrow bolts into the radiator itself.
The green arrow is another connection but I have haven't seen a new radiator with that hose connected to it.
The red arrow is where I think I should because the new radiators seem to come with that little pipe pre-installed.

Which connection do I disconnect to pull the readiator?
If its the red arrow, then how do I disconnect it because its a smooth surface and I don't think I can get a wrench on it to unbolt it.

Thanks

CopperDesigno, you need quick disconnect tools. They slide inside the connection and release the pressure off of the hose. Kinda hard to explain, the smaller end will fit inside and release the line. Heres the ones I have, got them at Sears and they are the same ones Snap-On sells for way more $$$.

Depending on how much work you do (I am a tech) you will find these useful on A/C and fuel lines too.

 

Thanks SR99. Well I am young and I am building my tool collection as I need it so these will be part of it soon.
