Vehicle Fitment

Common Replacement Reasons

• Coolant leakage from a damaged or corroded radiator
• Restricted coolant flow from internal buildup
• Overheating caused by reduced heat transfer

Installation Notes

Verify inlet and outlet locations, header dimensions, and transmission cooler fitting spacing before installation. A radiator cap is required for the listed applications, and a hoist may be needed because installation is performed underneath the vehicle. Confirm all hose connections, cooler lines, and mounting points match the original layout before filling and bleeding the cooling system.
