• Fitment issues when replacing an OE-style radiator on Ford F-150, F-250, F-350, or Bronco models

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify core dimensions, inlet and outlet sizes, and transmission cooler line spacing before installation. Flush the cooling system, inspect hoses and clamps, and confirm the radiator mounts and fan clearance match the original unit. For 1985-1997 Ford F-150 and related truck applications, compare the existing radiator layout to confirm cross-flow configuration and transmission cooler connection points.
