Will this radiator work with a manual transmission truck?

This unit is designed specifically for automatic transmission cooling. Manual transmission Tacomas use a different radiator design without the integrated cooler circuit. Verify your transmission type before ordering.

Do I need to drain coolant before installation?

Yes. Expect coolant loss during removal and reinstallation. Have fresh coolant ready and follow your vehicle's service manual for proper refill procedure and burping air from the system.

Are hoses and clamps included with this radiator?

The radiator assembly ships as a core unit. Hoses, clamps, and thermostat housing gaskets are not included. Inspect your existing hoses during install — replace any that show wear or cracking.
