I accidentally got the wrong radiator from advanced auto parts, it all lines up with my transmission and coolant hoses. Unfortunately, the radiator has a hole on each side that doesn’t line up with anything on my truck. Do I need to plug them up? Will it shoot out transmission fluid or coolant? Any advice or ideas appreciated

    Aftermarket radiator manufacturers consolidate part numbers all the time. Where the OE will have three part numbers for no secondary coolers, with trans cooler, and with trans and engine oil cooler, in the aftermarket they’ll make the one with all three to cover all bases. So long as it fits and your oe lines connect properly, you’re g2g.
