One Big Problem best in radiators

This radiator fits like a glove. However, the built-in hose fittings for the transmission oil cooler make no sense at all. The Ford F-250's transmission lines are rigid lines that use a spring detent. I was able to remove the appropriate fittings from the old cooler, but the hose ridges have different threads on the new cooler. Hose burrs are round threads while OEM spring fittings are fine threads. What do you think? In order to use the transmission coolant lines and OEM fittings, I had to apply high temperature pipe grease and carefully tighten the fittings without cracking the new radiator. If they don't supply the correct fittings, at least cut the radiator off so the person can use the old radiator's OEM fittings. This turned out to be a spoiler and resulted in a downgrade to one star if those fittings started leaking. Apart from this big flaw, the cooler is quite decent.

Pros
  • Large selection
Cons
  • Safety
