Do I need to drain the entire cooling system before installation?

Yes. You'll need to drain coolant from the existing radiator before removal. Have a drain pan ready and dispose of coolant properly. Refer to your service manual for the correct drain procedure and refill capacity.

Will this radiator work with my current hoses and water pump?

This is an OEM replacement, so it uses the same connection points as the original. Your existing hoses should fit; inspect them for cracks or deterioration while you have the system open. If they're brittle or leaking, now's the time to replace them.

What if the radiator arrives with visible damage?

Inspect the radiator immediately upon arrival. If you spot cracks, bent fins, or damage to the tanks, contact ModSupply within 7 days with photos. Don't attempt installation of a compromised unit—it will leak.
