Radiator Question
 
1 Attachment(s)
Installing everything on my new superior radiator. This has 2 inlets in bottom, one on left side and one on the right side. Another inlet in the top right. Are the bottom 2 for the trans lines? Or is the bottom right and top for the trans? Is the other one then just plugged? Trans is a 700r4. I know it may be a silly question to some of you but has me scratching my head. Thanks. Pic attached.

one of those on the bottom may be for the drain plug... got a better pic of what you have?...you can blow air in the fittings and see where they go

Yes. Thanks. That is exactly what I was looking for.

If you aren't running an automatic I'd just plug the trans cooler holes. There are plugs made for flair tubing fittings like that that you can get. That will keep the cooler clean if at a later date it gets used with an automatic.

Running automatic. If it was just me I would have a stick. But the better half wants to drive it also. 😉
