I am trying to replace my radiator is a 2001 cadillac dhs. The whole thing matches up except the bottom left insert for the hose is to big for the hose to connect. Is there an adapter I can get to help it connect?

If you are changing a new hose, the hose would most likely be a very tight fit so you would need to slip it over, unless the difference is too much than as Roy mentioned, you have the wrong radiator.
