Installation Notes and Tips
Verify core dimensions, inlet and outlet placement, and sensor-port location before installation. Confirm hose fitment, transmission or oil-cooler routing where applicable, and use the correct CSF cap number 4503 if a cap is required for the application. Flush the cooling system, inspect hoses and clamps, and refill with the proper coolant mixture after installation. Fits should be confirmed against the vehicle’s original radiator configuration for Isuzu Rodeo and related applications.
