Hi there, first post.

my 2000 5.4l with 180k just had its third radiator installed. the dealership did the first two i did this one. Radiator install went fine, how ever, now ive got a high idle and its shifting at around 3000 rpms. is it possible that a lot of tranny fluid leaked out the cooling tubes while the old one was out? do i need to bleed them or something? it wasnt doing this preinstall at all.

is it also possible that i didnt get everything hooked back up? or that i bumped something on the install that did it? if so what would cause it?

just wanted to tell everyone i finally did discover the issue i was having with the high idle. i guess in the process of moving stuff around i pulled on the wiring harness and pulled the plug to the TPS half way off. just wanted to share
