Will I need to flush the cooling system or drain anything before installation?

Yes. Drain the existing coolant, remove the old radiator, and flush the system if it hasn't been serviced recently. Install fresh coolant per your vehicle's service manual after the new radiator is seated and all connections are tight.

Do I need new hoses or can I reuse the existing ones?

Reuse existing hoses if they're in good condition—no cracks, splits, or soft spots. If they've been on the vehicle for years or show wear, replace them now rather than risk a leak months down the road.

Is this a new radiator or refurbished?

This is a new OEM-specification unit built to factory performance standards, not a used or reconditioned core.
