Do I need coolant hoses or transmission lines?

Those are sold separately. This radiator assembly comes alone—you'll reuse your existing OEM hoses and fittings if they're in good condition, or source replacements based on your hose diameter.

Can I install this myself with basic hand tools?

Yes. Drain your coolant, unbolt the radiator from the support frame, disconnect the hose clamps, and reverse the steps with the new unit. No special tools required—just patience and a drain pan.

Does this radiator need any prep before installation?

Flush your cooling system and inspect the thermostat while you're at it. The radiator arrives ready to mount—no painting or finishing needed.
