Do I need to drain the cooling system before removal?

Yes. Drain the coolant into a clean container before disconnecting hoses. Refer to your vehicle's service manual for coolant type and capacity — refill with the same spec when installation is complete.

Are the radiator hoses included or do I need to reuse my old ones?

Hoses are not included. You can reuse factory hoses if they're in good condition — inspect for cracks or soft spots before reconnection. Replace if there's any sign of deterioration.

What if I have a leak or cooling issue after installation?

Most cooling problems trace back to hose connections, thermostat housing seals, or coolant level. Double-check all hose clamps are tight and torqued to spec. If the radiator itself is leaking, contact support with photos and your order number for a return evaluation.
