Installation Steps:
- Prepare the Vehicle: Park your vehicle on a flat surface and engage the parking brake. Allow the engine to cool down before starting the installation.
Locate and Remove the Factory Parts: Open the hood and locate the factory radiator cover or any existing cooling plate. Carefully remove any screws, bolts, or clips securing the factory parts to the vehicle’s radiator and surrounding components.
- Fit the Cusco Radiator Cooling Plate: Place the Cusco Radiator Cooling Plate over the radiator. Ensure that it aligns properly with the mounting points on the vehicle’s frame. Double-check that the plate does not interfere with any other components.

- Check Clearances and Reassemble: After securing the cooling plate, verify that there is sufficient clearance between the cooling plate and other engine components. Reinstall any parts, hoses, or brackets that were removed earlier to accommodate the new cooling plate.
- Final Inspection: Before closing the hood, inspect the installation thoroughly. Ensure that all hardware is tightened securely, and there are no loose or dangling wires.
- Test Drive and Monitor: Take your vehicle for a test drive to ensure that everything functions correctly. Monitor the engine temperature to confirm that the Cusco Radiator Cooling Plate is effectively improving the cooling performance.
