I thought the 2001- had the flow reversed so you had to put your hose on the rad fitting not the line??

step 1 from the quoted text.

1. This is the outlet fitting at the top of the transmission cooler. The line off to the side with the o-rings is no-pressure return line back to the transmission. I pulled the line out, and put in a piece of 9/16" vinyl tube with teflon tape wrapped around the end (for a great seal) in the hole. It fits comfortably tight when pushed in, and didn't leak a drop. I put the other end of the tube in a container.

Just like I thought the pressure comes out of the radiator side not the line side like the 2000 and older models thanks for the reminder!!!

Worked like a charm! Put the same hose I use on the pre 2001 cars on the line, fed it into the radiator side and it was tight enough to get the job done. Thanks all for the reminder!!
