Will this radiator work with my current hoses?

Connector sizing matches factory specs, so existing hoses should fit. Before installation, inspect hose condition and clamp security — old rubber may need replacement regardless of radiator swap.

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

Yes. Old coolant can leave sediment that clogs a fresh core quickly. Flush the system completely, rinse with distilled water, and refill with manufacturer-specified coolant and concentration.

What's the return window if this doesn't fit?

Test-fit before final connection. Once coolant is added and hoses are sealed, returns become complicated. Verify all mounting bolts align and connectors seat fully before filling the system.
