Will this bolt directly into my Escape without modification?

Yes. This radiator mounts at the factory attachment points — no drilling, bending, or bracket fabrication needed. Hose connections match your original layout.

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

Flush out the old coolant and debris before the swap. Clean coolant ensures the new radiator doesn't get clogged with sediment from the old core and extends its lifespan.

What if the radiator arrives damaged or fails shortly after install?

Contact ModSupply with photos and your order number. Verify the issue isn't caused by air in the system or a stuck thermostat — those are common misdiagnoses after a radiator swap.
