 | Be careful not to damage the radiator core,
during the installation process. |
| Flush the vehicle's cooling system prior to
installing your new radiator. Failure to do so, may leave harmful contaminants
in your vehicle's cooling system that could plug the tubes in your new
radiator, or cause it to fail prematurely. |
| Change the thermostat and gasket.
|
| Use new coolant/antifreeze in your cooling system. 50% distilled
water and 50% coolant, and regular cooling system preventative maintenance
will help extend the life of your new radiator.. |
| Check your radiator, and heater hoses for cracks, soft, or swollen
areas. Replace as necessary. |
| After the radiator is installed, leave the
radiator cap off, and let the vehicle idle for approximately 10 minutes to
make sure that the coolant/antifreeze is flowing inside the radiator. Flowing coolant
will indicate that the new thermostat and radiator are operating correctly
Look for coolant leaks throughout the cooling system, and under the vehicle.
|
| Monitor your temperature gauge for the next
few days to verify that the vehicle is operating in the "normal" range for the
vehicle. |
| Old coolant should be disposes of in an
environmentally friendly manner. |
| Never open your radiator cap until you are
sure the vehicle is cool. Never open the radiator cap on a car that is
overheating . |
