I love my 97 gp. It's the best car I had so far in my time driving. I've taken care of it for the last 6 years I think and she takes me anywhere. Now for some strange reason..I purchased a 4th gen Taurus for my girl. Biggest mistake ever. From getting the Vulcan engine instead of the 'Tec, to drum brakes..it's been a money pit.
My new dilemma is the transmission cooler tube pops out of the radiator while driving on the highway.. literally lost every ounce of atf. Radiator doesn't have a nipple you can attach a rubber hose to like our gm vehicles. Instead they have this quick disconnect crap. I was wondering if I can use a barb hose fitting to insert in the radiator and splice a rubber hose on the tube for a secure fit? I'm never buying a Ford again! Should have got that Buick Park Avenue for her. Sorry for the long paragraphs.
