Will this radiator fit my cooling system without modifying hoses or brackets?

Yes — this is built to factory spec. Mounting points and connection sizes match the original. You may need to transfer your thermostat housing or drain plug if your old radiator has aftermarket parts welded on.

Do I need to flush the system before installation?

Recommended. Drain old coolant completely, flush lines with distilled water if sediment is visible, and refill with fresh coolant rated for your vehicle. This prevents corrosion and extends radiator life.

Are hose clamps, gaskets, or coolant included with this radiator?

The radiator assembly ships alone. You'll need to reuse your existing hoses (inspect for cracks first) and grab fresh coolant before refilling. Gaskets or seals specific to your drain plug may need replacement — check when you remove the old unit.
