Will this radiator work with my current hoses and transmission cooler lines?

This radiator uses factory mounting and connection points, so existing hoses and cooler lines should reconnect without issue. Inspect rubber components for deterioration before reinstalling — if they're original to the car, swap them out while you're in there.

Do I need to drain the entire cooling system to swap this in?

Yes. Plan on draining the system, removing the old radiator, installing the new one, and refilling with fresh coolant. Flush the block if the old fluid is dark or heavily contaminated.

What if the new radiator leaks or fails shortly after install?

Contact our support team with photos and install date. Returns and warranty claims are handled case-by-case — we stand behind factory-spec parts, but shipping and restocking may apply depending on the situation.
