Engine Cooling problem
1998 Dodge Ram V8 Four Wheel Drive Automatic 100k miles

Hello, replacing radiator on 98 RAM. The trans fluid cooling line lower connection at radiator appears to be a "quick disconnect"?? Do I need a special tool to disconnect it? I dont see any disconnect tabs on the fittings.

Hi:
You should be ablke to push in on the steel hose and pull back on the rim of the fitting. If that doesn't work, you will need to unbolt it from the radiator.
