    dumb radiator draincock (petcock) question

    Might?? like to upgrade to the stainless lower tube. Search the web. Prices can vary, steel cheap $90... stainless twice, $$, sooo shop it. Looks like this. Better fuel economy, cooler engine temps, less wind drag on the BiG rusty spots. Shinny and not rusted or busted, CAMO

    4L80E error code 73 - trans light always on

    If they are the 97 A / 97 B they are the tachometer pick up connection. Nothing to do with TCM input. Looking at the picture location & connectors, ME thinks :unsure: those wires are the Cold Advance Sensor connections. Look to the engine and I thinks you will find the other part where it...
