Will this radiator work with my current cooling fans and hoses?

Yes. Since it's OEM spec, your existing fan shroud, electric fans, and hose connections attach without modification. Verify hose barb sizes before final assembly.

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

Highly recommended. Old coolant can clog a new radiator core. Flush the block and lines with distilled water, then fill with fresh coolant to spec.

Are mounting brackets and hardware included?

The radiator assembly comes ready to bolt into factory mounting points. Verify your vehicle's specific bracket configuration before purchase — some trucks use side mounts, others use top mounts.
