Radiator replacement

I'm changing the radiator on my 5.4 2000 f150 and can not get the lower transmission line back in....I can't get the threaded part that slides on the line to slide all the way in to the threads!!!!????

The new radiator may be thinner causing you to run out of line.

Call up a bunch of local auto shops and ask for their opinion. If they won't tell you, call up another one or the stealership.
