Default Trans cooler fitting

Just bought an 07’ f150 xlt, I replaced one of the trans cooler lines and radiator as the area was busted and last owner put JB Weld on the problem 2 yrs ago and it broke off with little tugging. Now that problem has been fixed but trans cooler fitting has a crack in it where oil cooler line is connected. I have no pics as I have already slapped some JB Weld in that area. Will the JB Weld be a temporary fix to the problem after curing for 15-24hrs and hold for a little while (few months at most)?

I can get a new radiator for it for 125 bucks from 1800 Radiator
It will come with a bag of fittings if needed for the cooler lines

You might have to pay 160 or so if you don't have a commercial account or a tax number, but they should sell to you

I would replace the fitting.
The jb might work, but do you want to fry the trans if it fails while you're driving and all the fluid pumps out the crack?
