Do I need to drain the entire cooling system before pulling the old radiator?

Yes—drain the coolant completely into a drain pan before disconnecting hoses and removing the old unit. Flush the system per your owner's manual before installing this radiator.

Will this radiator work with my current hoses and clamps?

Factory hoses should fit—the connection ports match OEM design. Inspect hose condition before reinstalling; consider new clamps if the old ones are corroded or cracked.

What if I notice a small leak after installation?

Check that all hose connections are tight and clamps are seated properly. If leaking persists from a tank seam or core, contact our support team with photos for warranty evaluation.
