Flowing a gas (air or refrigerant) is different than flowing a semi-viscous fluid like ATF. If the passages are considerably smaller than that found in a purpose built transmission cooler, it can lead to more restriction. Obviously, if there are a lot more of those passages, it will cut down on the flow rate through each passage thereby reducing the restriction (friction loss), but still, it's something to be aware of.

 

I had coolant coming out from the dash from above the passenger footwell and steam coming out of the vents this morning. I think it's time to have a look at the heater core...

I really think my Blazer hates me. Everything was fine and now everything brakes down...

 

blazers are moody. at least mine was lol.

 

Mine is and i haven't done any modifications to it other than a stereo.... They're great when happy, but a huge pain in the butt when mad

 

See last sentence - Extremely important!

 

Well, this is the only connector of the four that is flared...
