I’m searching salvage yards for a used radiator; they keep asking if it’s the one with or without beveled connections for the transmission lines. I took a picture in one of the yards and the guy didn’t know. What are they talking about? I only see the ones with the e clip that just snaps in when I search for new ones online.

Hi,

I'm not sure what they are asking either. There are two different possibilities, but one of them is for a vehicle with the police package.

Here is the OEM part number. 15140506 Have them match that for you and it should work. Also, I attached a pic of what the cooler line connections should look like. Let me know if that is what you have.

Also, I don't know what they want for a used one, but you can get a new one for around 80.00 on Rockauto. I attached a pic below. Note that I can get you an additional 5%off if you need it.

Let me know.

Take care,

joe
