Re: Plugging A/T lines on replacement TJ radiator???
Aftermarket rads are sold to accomodate AT by default. There is no
difference except the plugs and a tiny line inside the rad. Leave the plugs
and be done with it. If you are sweating keeping them sealed, apply a small
amount of glue or gasket sealer to the plug and put it back on. You did not
make a mistake.
