Will this radiator work with my factory cooling fan and hose connections?

Yes. This is an OEM replacement built to your vehicle's original specifications—all factory connections and mounting points align with your existing setup.

What prep is needed before installation?

Drain the coolant system completely and flush the block to remove sediment. Install the radiator, reconnect hoses to their factory positions, refill with fresh coolant, and bleed the system according to your service manual.

Do I need to replace the thermostat or water pump at the same time?

Not required. This radiator works with your existing components. However, if your thermostat or water pump are original to the vehicle, replacing them during radiator service extends overall system life.
