Archaeor Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 I pulled off my front bumper to install new factory brush guard and tow hooks with appropriate brackets. When I went to test install (shoved in the new bumper/guard/brackets) to see if was a good fit, this thing fell out. I'm pretty sure it was a part that the PO let fall into all the rubber mats, or front skid plate etc. underneath the front of the truck and never retrieved, but I would still like to know what it is. 5/16 or 16mm.

fiatslug87 Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 Is it the bung for the transmission cooler lines in the radiator? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archaeor Posted August 25, 2016 Author Share Posted August 25, 2016 That's what it looks like to me, but I'm manual tranny. Although, radiators can be universal (manual/auto) so maybe you're right! I'll look underneath my radiator tomorrow and see if it's the same as any "bungs" there. I'm sure it's just a "lost part", but nice to know which one... :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strokermjcomanche Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 Power steering fitting for the return hose ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fiatslug87 Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 Are you installing the brush guard you got from Craig's list? Post some pictures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyComanche Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 Pretty certain that will be the plug for the trans cooler part of the rad, as 'almost' all rads come with the trans cooler in them and just have them plugged if you aren't using it. It's inverted flare, not much else uses inverted flare (nothing I can think of on an XJ/MJ, except brakes, which that is not). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archaeor Posted August 25, 2016 Author Share Posted August 25, 2016 It came out of the lower driver's side back of radiator. Got it back in! Thanks, Rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyComanche Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 Yeah, that's the built in trans cooler. :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
