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

Yes. Drain old coolant completely and rinse the system with distilled water to remove sediment and debris. Fresh coolant prevents corrosion and extends radiator life.

Are the transmission cooler lines already attached?

The radiator comes with integrated cooler ports for automatic transmission fluid circulation. Reuse your existing transmission hose connections—no new lines needed.

What tools do I need to swap this in?

Standard socket and wrench set, coolant drain pan, and a jack with jack stands. Most installations take 1–2 hours. Refer to your service manual for torque specs on mounting brackets and hose clamps.
