Will this bolt straight into my engine bay?

Yes. Mounting tabs and hose ports align with factory brackets and lines. You're pulling out the old core and sliding this one in—no fabrication needed.

Do I need to flush the cooling system before installation?

Flushing is recommended to remove sediment from the old radiator. Fresh coolant helps the new core work at full capacity and extends its life.

What if it doesn't fit as expected?

Test-fit before closing the radiator shroud. If mounting points don't align, double-check your year and engine code. Contact support with photos if issues arise.
