Default 2001 radiator replacement

I really like this forum and have used much of the info here to diagnose past problems on my Blazer, so Thanks to All.
I have a question: Does a 2001 S10 Blazer, 2 WD, Automatic trans have oil cooler lines and/or transmission cooler lines to the radiator?

I need to replace my OEM because the plastic end is leaking. Any tips on replacing would also be greatly appreciated.

I recently had my radiator rebuilt in my 01. The end caps were leaking. It was 85$ for new caps, repaint, and flushing. Looks brand new and sure as heck beats buying new.

Yes, you have both oil cooler lines and tranny lines going to the coolers in the radiator.

Best tip I can give you is do not cross thread the connections when you are putting the new radiator back in.

Thank you both. I will check the price on rebuilding this one, as I can get a new one for $118.00.

A few vendors sell higher capacity radiators as well.

I'd recommend getting a new all aluminum one vice rebuilding the stock one or replacing it with stock. I also agree with getting the higher capacity one. Just wish I would have done it when I replaced mine but didn't know any better at the time.
