I bought a Spectra Premium CU2423 radiator through Rock Auto. I need a new upper transmission cooler line connector (quick connect) radiator side but cannot find one that fits or even what size the male side is. I have contacted Spectra and they can't even give me an answer. Does anyone on here possibly know what the size and thread is?
I was able to get the connector part number and size after a week of contacting Spectra daily.
GM Part #19130039
Dorman Part #800-605
The male side of the quick connect is 5/8-18 UNF
Unfortunately my transmission is dead due to the transmission cooler line popping out at the radiator. I have no gears now.

Do you mean the fitting that screws into the radiator that holds the cooler inside the tank from falling down? The hose or pipes push in and are held in place with clips on the 2007-2014 models.

If that is the part (9/16x18 thread), look these up:

Dorman 800619
Hayden 382
Four Seasons 86059

Yes the side the c clip is in to hold the line. 9/16 is too small, my factory one from old radiator is too small. I have bought several different sized Dorman connectors just for all of them to be too small.
