Default Anybody have problems hooking up the tranny cooler line to 05+ radiator?

I've been having a hell of a time with this stupid radiator/fan swap. I've been trying to find a npt barb fitting for my auxillary tranny cooler and nothing seems to fit it. I've tried lowe's and all the local auto parts stores and nothing. When I did find the right size, the threads were different. They seem to be a little different than the 99-02 style, as far as the holes are.

Tonight, I thought everything was hooked up right and when I cranked it up to check for leaks, the bottom tranny cooler line going in to the radiator was leaking. I don't know if its the larger radiator or lower radiator hose or what, but I can't seem to get a good seal on it. I used the clip and everything. I'm gonna recheck it in the morning, when I have some light. Just seeing if anybody else has had problems with it lining up?

Take a look to make sure that the factory line is not cracked or worn at the area where the clip sits. I have seen this a few times. Vince
