Not sure if anyone has had this same problem... but in the middle of the 1995 run, May 95 to be exact the couplings for the transmission fluids changed on the radiators. Now the problem is that I have a radiator for the later generation, but have the lines for the earlier. Does anyone know if/how two make the two compatable. Ford wants me to buy all new transmission lines to fix the problem... I really don't want too, and I have been unable to track down the earler gen. radiator.

Talk to a radiator shop. They may be able to come up with just the tank to change over on the replacement radiator to make it compatable. A radiator shop may also have information on adapting the newer radiator. Good luck with it.

Thanks man, I went to a hardware shot today and picked up some copper gas fittings, a couple that go end to end, I got the bottom fitting to work, and so close with the top. I put some teflon tape inbetween obviously to make a barrier. I will let you know how it goes.
