Installation Notes

Verify engine and package-specific fitment before installation, especially for 2015-2016 Mustang applications with performance-package notes and 2024 vehicles built from 04/05/2023. Confirm hose routing, mounting points, and transmission or cooling-system connections against the original radiator before final assembly. Use the vehicle’s service procedure for coolant refill and air bleeding after installation.
