Does this radiator have the same inlet and outlet ports as my existing one?

Yes—this is an OEM replacement designed to bolt in where your original radiator sits. Your existing hose connections will line up without adapters or modifications.

What condition should I inspect my coolant lines in before installing this?

Check hoses and clamps for cracks, hardening, or seepage. If your original radiator failed, flush the cooling system before installing a new core to remove debris that could clog the new unit.

Will I need to drain my entire system to swap this in?

Yes. Expect a full system drain and refill. Capture coolant safely and dispose per local regulations—do not pour it down drains.
