q45 radiator

[natsoundup1]

the radiator is out...I am going to take some pics and go to work to post them... i can't do it on my home computer/.

it could boil down to measurements... I don't know.

there are three fittings on the driver's side of the radiator.... two for transmission coolant...one for temperature...plus of course the lower radiator hose..

I'll try to take some measurement to include in the post.

Radiator is leaking from the passenger side where the plastic meets the metal...there's a place up top and another at the bottom....oh well what can you expect for 167k miles and 14 years.

[DR.Q]

I sent you an email with a photo attached. A BIG photo.

[natsoundup1]

sent you some back.

[natsoundup1]

can measure the rubber grommets on the bottom....center rubber to center rubber..

and the radiator across the top of the aluminum

[DR.Q]

Center to center is 27" exactly.

[natsoundup1]

that's what I came up with....

do you also have two transmission cooler lines.. and a temp line on the drivers side... and are the fittings intact for the cooler lines?

[elwesso]

I got your email...

I have 4 things for the transmission cooler......

[natsoundup1]

wes--- is it too on each side? there are definitely only 2 fittings on the driver side on mine...like i said...plus the temperature sensor fitting...

maybe that's the difference between a 94 and a 90

[DR.Q]

that's what I came up with....

do you also have two transmission cooler lines.. and a temp line on the drivers side... and are the fittings intact for the cooler lines?

Two ATF cooler lines on driver's side only...a temp line on the driver's side with sensor and harness...and the fittings are intact for the cooler lines.

Sounds to me like the tank gasket went, which can be replaced by a radiator shop.

[natsoundup1]

Dr. Q is going to hook me up..I may check into the radiator shop...I did one today...and they say it's cheaper to replace them..

I really don't expect much more out of this Q, so it has to be used parts....or else I'll be parting it out ....
