ok, i just bought me a new radiator, wel i got everything tightened down, and the two transmission lines, they tightened as far as me and my brother could tighten them, but now when i start it up, the top line, next to the hose where the coolant dump tank connects is just dumping it out, just as if it were hangin free, also now my fan wont come on, GRRR kill the damn radiators, just put a bucket of ice water there. anyone got any clues? its not really leaking from the bolt part, it LOOKS like its coming from the radiator mounting. and i did plug the battery back in, and i did plug in the fan, its an electric fan thanks!!!

Sound like you have the same problem as I had with my transmission. The tranny lines have a little flare at the end of them and require a "seat" to sit against so they don't leak. Your radiator probably doesn't have a "Seat" in it... it just goes straight through. You have to buy adapters that screw into the radiator and provide a "seat" for the tranny line to sit against so it doesn't leak.

1)It's cold outside

2)Your engine is in good tune

3)You've got an Al radiator that cools very well.

4)You've got a with the wiring/switch.
