2 hoses going to the radiator what are they?

[rubdog]

Can anybody tell me what are these two hoses. on the passanger side of the radiator not the driverside I know these are from A/T transmission hoses.

They carry the trans fluid to the trans cooler (heater) built into the radiator....

Do yourself a favour, and get an aftermarket trans cooler. Hook these 2 hoses you speak of up to it, and your transmission will thank you by lasting longer.

EDIT: My passenger side is opposite to yours, hence the confusion. sorry.

I'm pretty sure the 94+ had two transmission radiator tank "coolers" - so both sides have hoses going in and out of the radiator end tanks.

Hi, I was asking because I was going to replace my radiator and the one I got of the forum did not have the connections for the passanger side it only has to two brass connections on the driverside. Does anybody know if I can still install this radiator without the passangerside hoses?

The extra two lines are just for an additional in-rad transmission cooler - earlier models just had the one "cooler" - just a simple tube in the radiator. So, you can just hook up the lines from the transmission to the two you have.

But ... you should seriously consider installing a genuine transmission cooler as long as you have everything apart. These transmissions aren't known for their long lives. An auxiliary cooler will help longevity a lot. Here are some threads on transmission coolers, along with pics and an explanation for the 2 vs 4 lines on the radiator:
