I am changing out the radiator on my 1999 Expedition and bought this giant awesome all aluminum one to replace the stock one but I'm confused about the lower radiator hose. I have the hose with the band that you rotate 45 degrees and here is my question. The new radiator I bought is just normal on the bottom hose area....like you would use a hose with a hose clamp. Mine is that bonkers one that looks like it has to fit on some special inlet on the actual radiator. My question is ...will this new hose with the band fit this new all aluminum radiator with just a normal bottom thing...when it doesn't look like the stock one? I spent a lot of money on this new radiator and it was guaranteed to fit my truck but....I'm needing input here please!!! I'm a girl just learning as I go here and figure if I did a fuel pump last time....I can manage a new radiator but now I'm not so sure! Thank you so very much and sorry if this is a stupid question.
