Is there a standard size for the transmission cooler fitting o-rings and if so, what is it, or are there differences depending on the radiator?
Had the radiator replaced Feb 2017 with an unknown aftermarket radiator. Recently noticed a fluid leak which turned out to be transmission fluid from the fittings where the cooler lines go into the radiator. The shop that replaced the radiator said the o-rings on the fittings had hardened and were leaking, so they replaced them with "better" ones which apparently cured the leak. (And charged $0 for the job!).
But I thought it might be nice to have a set of o-rings on hand in case it starts leaking in another 18 months.
Also, if I want to check the fluid level on this transmission, it's through the filler hole? Is it accessible from above or do I have to get under the truck to check it?
