Yeah here's a pic with the transmission cooler lines going to it, I've been searching around and it seems most g-body radiators you get from the parts store will have that port, and it looks like people may be using it for a coolant level switch.

And here's a picture of the plug that goes in the hole, maybe I can take the plug to a hardware store and check the plumbing section to see what fits that plug and that will tell me what size it is.

I'll be going with silverado upper and lower hoses, and i'll be going with an electric fan setup from a late 90's dodge intrepid. Most g-body guys i've seen that swap to electric fans either use the intrepid fans or a single fan from a ford taurus.

MalibuRacing, why do you need to run a temp probe? Although factory 99-04/05 trucks didn't come with electric fans stock, you can program a signal into the factory DBC PCM to have cts parameter set to turn on signal in pcm, so the cts effectively controls the fan.
I'm running a factory copper replacement from Advance Auto and it cools well, runs around 190 all the time even in the summer. Running a clutch fan with an electric fan "emergency" pusher.

I put a radiator made from superior radiator in mt Clemens mi.
$300 for the radiator $200 for dual electric fans and shroud.
$500 total. Inlet and outlet tubes on the passenger side. Radiator also has a trans cooler
