Do I need to flush the cooling system before installing this radiator?

Yes. Flush the system completely and refill with fresh coolant rated for your vehicle. Old coolant can contain sediment that clogs a new radiator.

What mounting hardware do I need?

This radiator uses factory mounting points. Verify your existing hardware is in good condition before installation — you may reuse stock fasteners if they're not stripped or corroded.

Will this radiator work with my factory fan shroud and hoses?

Designed as a direct replacement, so your existing shroud, fans, and hose connections should align. Test-fit before final assembly to confirm clearance at all connection points.
