The lower line on the bottom of the radiator is the return line to the transmission. I installed the fitting kit in to that then ran it to the external trans cooler and then ran the return back to the transmission return. really quite simple to install, the only thing that was a pain was trying to check the transmission fluid to make sure that it was still okay. If i could figure out how to post pictures I've got several that I could share.
There is a link in my sig to posting pics.

This thread is from 2008, but thanks.

I never can remember which is the return. I always wondered if that fitting kit was the right one, they are not very forthcoming on info about it.

I cut the hose and spliced into it.
