Tranny fluid line stub repair ??

[BullElk]

The tranny fluid stub hose connector on radiator broke off. I was looking for a leak, saw it coming from hose connection area, barely touched it and it came right off.

Any known repairs other than a new radiator ??

Thanks

I would just replace the radiator, if it has snapped due to ageing and becoming brittle then the radiator has weakened, check heater Tees aswell.

it is less than 2 years old (June 2014).

Almost new then, how annoying. Hopefully someone can advise you on a repair.

Well, I just talked with Amazon. They refunded my money and I will order another in the next couple hours when refund is back on my card. New one will be here Tuesday.

Could be worse.

FYI..... This hex nut is part of the hose connection that broke off. It will screw out and can be replaced if you have one from a bad radiator. I didn't realize that until too late.

Tip of the day....(for me).....of the bad radiMake sure to unscrew them and don't throw them out with the rest oators.
