i changed out my radiator on my 1996 dodge dakota 5.2 i took it out without a problem. then i did everything correct putting it back in i(i hope). my problem is that it now leaks out of the quick connect tabs in the tranny line that hooks in the radiator. ive even took the old o-rings out and replaced them. still didnt work. even went one size up in the o-ring size and that didnt work either. is there something im missing. the dodge dealer even gave me 2 new quick connect tabs.

Hi:

By any chance, are the colling lines damaged? If you replaced the o-rings and clips, and it still leaks, there is a problem with the cooling lines or the radiator itself.
