Will this radiator work with my existing cooling hoses and connections?

Yes. Factory mounting and connection points match your vehicle's original plumbing — no adapter fittings or hose modifications needed. Bolt it in and reconnect your existing lines.

What's the difference between this and a universal radiator?

This is OEM-spec, meaning it's engineered specifically for your transmission type and cooling system pressure. Universal units often require custom brackets or bypass the AT oil cooler entirely, which can damage your transmission. This one does the job right.

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

A flush before install is smart practice to remove debris and old coolant — it protects your new radiator and ensures better heat transfer. Refill with fresh 50/50 coolant-to-water mix and bleed air from the system per your service manual.
