New Mishimoto radiator problem!

Just installed a new mishimoto radiator in my 1997, it doesn’t come with a coolant overflow nipple!!!??? They suggest to use the old one and transfer it onto the new radiator, one BIG problem is my stock radiator has a plastic molded nipple permanently attached. Can not be transferred, truck is undrivable until I get this nipple...

Anyone know where to source on cause apparently they are real hard to find?!?!

Stock radiator was leaking too bad to continue driving so reinstall isnt an option, pretty disappointed in the Mishimoto. The cheaper brands all have this nipple apparently.

thanks for any help, this came at a bad time

It's just a npt (pipe thread) bung. Prob 1/8" . Get a pipe to Barb fitting in brass from parts store or farm and hardware store.

Thanks for the reply, I found the part at Ace Hardware. I only had to drive two hours round-trip to get it but that’s what I get for living in the woods!

Love this forum it’s been a huge help for me
