Does this tank mount at the factory location with original fasteners?

Yes — designed to use factory mounting points. Check your OEM hardware before installation to confirm it's reusable; if fasteners are corroded or damaged, replacement hardware is inexpensive and widely available.

Will I need to drain coolant before swapping tanks?

You'll lose some coolant during removal, so have a drain pan ready and fresh coolant on hand to top off afterward. The amount depends on how much residual liquid remains in the old tank and hoses.

Can I reuse the hose connections and cap from my old tank?

Hose barbs and cap fitment vary — inspect your old connections carefully. If they're in good condition and match the new tank's port sizes, reuse is possible. If they're cracked, loose, or don't align, replacement hoses and a new cap are inexpensive insurance against leaks.
