Do I need to drain my coolant before swapping this in?

Yes. Drain the system completely before disconnection, and refill with the same coolant type your vehicle was running — mixing coolant types can damage the new radiator. Refer to your service manual for the correct coolant specification and bleed procedures.

Will this radiator come with hoses and clamps?

The radiator assembly includes the core and tanks. Hoses and clamps are not included — reuse your existing hoses if they're in good condition, or source new ones separately to match your current setup.

What if the radiator leaks after I install it?

Run the engine at operating temperature for 10–15 minutes to check for weeps at seams and tank joints before fully buttoning up the engine bay. If a leak appears immediately, stop and inspect the connection points — verify all hose clamps are tight and seated properly on the radiator fittings.
