You have the 28" Radiator. You bought the 32" radiator size fans. If I remember correctly, you got the #284 when you should have bought the #292. If you want to go through the trouble of doing a new radiator--that's cool--but I am not sure if your connectors for the tranny cooler lines, temp sensors, hose lengths, etc. will fit the 34" rad. It's just a thought. I may be off on that thought, but it would be something to consider...
i went out and bought the larger one{rad} i hope all the mentioned things do work i did think of it as i paid for it .lol.looks like the tranny lines oil lines etc are gonna work o shit as im writing i just realized the lines are the same but idk if theyre are long enough ,well i was saying i thought the lines would work but o well well see and the worst would be the hoses maybe longer .any more opinions still would be apppr.
Yeah, like I said before, I am not sure if they are long enough... The only thing to do now is to drain your system and put the new stuff in and see if it will fit. I am waiting for our "Resident Know Nothing" to chime in...Red--you have any insight?????
I switched from a 28 to 34" radiator and used the same hoses without any problem, just straightened out a couple of bends and cut the return hose to install the huge transmission cooler in front of the a/c condensor.
Saaaawwweet. See, I knew Red would clarify things... Thanks Greg!
