Trans lines
I have a question on how to tie in my trans lines to my radiator. I put an 05 5.3 and 4l60e in my 96 sierra. I am using my 96's radiator and the trans lines from the 05. The 05 uses different fittings. Are there any dorman p/n's that will work?

Why don't you just get the same yr radiator as your engine and tranny be a lot easier.shouldnt be that expensive
-
Or get a after market tranny cooler there like 50-80 buck on summit
-
I was trying to not spend the money. But I think an aftermarket cooler is the way to solve it.
Can I just leave the radiator holes open?
-
I wasn't sure if it would fit.
-
either way your gonna spend money. a 05 radiator is much easier since you have the lines
-
Yeah you can just leave them open but you get the right bolt to close them at the part store. But true cooler be your best bet with 05 rad.
-
You want to circulate your fluid thru the rad as well as your aux.cooler,it helps get the trans up to operating temp quicker.Finding a handful of fittings to make it work shouldn't be a big deal.

well, I went to the parts house with my radiator under arm. They had the fittings I needed for the radiator. I cut the hard lines and put compression / barbed fittings and it worked like a charm... so far. thanks for the suggestions.
