Installation

1. If a new radiator is to be installed on vehicles equipped with automatic transmission, transfer the transmission oil cooler line connectors to the new radiator , using Pipe Sealant with Teflon® D8AZ-19554-A or equivalent meeting Ford specifications ESG-M4G194-A and ESR-M18P7-A.

2. Position the radiator into the vehicle. Install upper radiator support upper bracket and secure with bolts.

3. On vehicles with automatic transmission, connect the transmission oil cooler lines.

4. Install radiator electric motor, fan blade and fan shroud as an assembly by inserting two lower legs to the radiator support (16138) with two retaining bolts. Install radiator support upper brackets with two retaining bolts. Tighten to 8.0-10.5 Nm (71-92 lb-in).

5. Connect the upper radiator hose , lower radiator hose and radiator overflow hoses . Close the radiator drain cock (8115) . Position the hose clamps at least 50mm (2 inches) from each end of hose and slide hose on the connections.

    CAUTION: Ensure the clamps are beyond the bead and place in the center of the clamping surface of the connections. New hose clamps must be installed inside the hose alignment marks or possible coolant leaks and engine damage may occur.

   Tighten clamp to 2.2-3.4 Nm (20-30 lb-in) (when using screw-type clamps).

6. Fill the radiator with the recommended permanent antifreeze and water mixture.

    WARNING: TO AVOID THE POSSIBILITY OF PERSONAL INJURY OR DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE, DO NOT OPERATE THE ENGINE WITH THE HOOD (16612) OPEN UNTIL THE FAN BLADE HAS BEEN FIRST EXAMINED FOR CRACKS AND SEPARATION.

7. Operate the engine and check for leaks at the hose connections and the transmission oil cooler lines. Check the automatic transmission, radiator and radiator coolant recovery reservoir fluid levels.
