Will this radiator work with my current hoses and clamps?

Yes — OEM radiator uses factory inlet/outlet sizing and mounting tabs. Your existing hose clamps and hose routing will fit without modification. Confirm hose condition before installation; factory hoses over 10 years old should be replaced regardless.

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

Absolutely. Drain and flush the entire system with distilled water, then refill with the correct coolant type for your year. Old coolant can contain sediment that will clog a fresh radiator core immediately.

What if this doesn't fit — can I return it?

Confirm your transmission type (automatic or manual) matches your order before installation. Once coolant has been run through the radiator, returns become complicated. Double-check fitment against your vehicle's original radiator before committing.
