The metal lines that go to the Radiator are tranny cooler lines. Almost all automatic cars have them.

Everything is pretty easy to do.

Hey, got the new radiator in, had a little more trouble then i thought. The radiator that i got didnt have big enough holes at the top to clamp/bolt the fan on, but i just pre drilled some little holes and got the bolts to catch and go in nicely. Another problem i ran into was when i put the tranny lines back on i thought i had them tight enough, it leaked a little when i turned the car on and tightened it up a little more and everything is fine now. Thanks for the info now i have a bran new radiator !

Glad you got it all going good.
Sometimes with the aftermarket ones you need to tweek some stuff.
