Does this radiator come with hoses and clamps?

The radiator assembly ships without hoses or clamps. Reuse your existing OEM rubber hoses if they're in good condition, or source new ones separately to ensure proper fitment at each connection point.

Can I install this myself, or do I need a shop?

This is designed for DIY installation with basic hand tools. Drain your coolant, unbolt the old radiator at the factory mounting points, and bolt this one in place. Give yourself a few hours and refer to your vehicle's service manual for torque specs and coolant refill procedure.

What if my current radiator is leaking — can I swap this in and use it right away?

Yes, once installed and secured at the factory mounting points, you can fill it with fresh coolant and run it immediately. Flush your cooling system before refilling to remove any debris from the old radiator.
