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

Yes. Flush the entire system with distilled water and a quality flush solution to remove old coolant and sediment buildup. This prevents blockages in the new core and ensures optimal heat transfer from day one.

Will this radiator bolt directly to my existing mounting brackets?

Factory mounting points are preserved on this design, so it fits within the original radiator bay. Verify your existing hoses and inlet/outlet sizing match before final installation — adapters may be needed if your plumbing has been modified.

What coolant should I use after installation?

Use the coolant type specified in your vehicle's service manual — typically Mopar OAT (organic acid technology) for this platform. Do not mix coolant types, and fill to the proper level after the engine cools completely.
