TYC 2138 Radiator Compatible with 1997-2004 Ford Mustang

So far so good. Install was easy, except for the tranny lines, but that was my cars fault (1999 Mustang V6)FYI, they have sleeve connectors with a portion of threads towards the end, and a smooth section towards the front. The problem is they dont just slide in to wear the threaded portion can grab anything. I had to use a flat head screw driver placed to the back of the nut on the sleeve where the trans line and sleeve meet. Then, hammer the end to where it goes in a little. Then I wiggled it in as much as I could, and repeated the hammering. Did this about five times each line. But thankfully, it worked. Had me stumped for a while. Made me wish I had those "quick disconnect" ford lines. At least they are better than these poorly engineered junk... typical ford IMO.Anyway, this is actually better than stock I think because the trans cooler line fittings on the radiator have a brass sealing(crush) washer, it appears. You can see the OEM one doesn't have the same pieces there. And, if you look up TSBs for this car, the factory had a sealing problem right there, which they reccommend you must take the radiator out, take those fittings attached to the radiator out, and install a set of purchased at Ford Only rubber sealing gaskets, made specifically for this engineering problem they've made. (many problems with ford like these it seems) So, these appear to have the extra protection here built in, which wasn't advertised. Huge plus!!! And, reason for the five stars.In addition to fast shipping and exact fit, these seem to be better made than the factory radiator by ford. I would highly reccommed to freinds or family.Update 5/10/17Still works good

This was very easy to install and lined up perfectly with the old one. Great replacement.

What in the actual commie is going on here? Whole thing is lopsided, box looked brand new but the item has huge factory defect. I called the company, it is not meant to be this way...

Did not fit 98 ford mustang 3.8l base V6. Did not fit level in the bottom corner hole on each side. Very disappointed.

After installing the radiator I decided to revise my review of this item. It was a good fit for the Mustang and we had little difficulties installing it. However the seller behind this product is rude and will not help you if you do run in too a problem.This radiator seems of of good quality and since Amazon backs it up as prime, I would recommend you purchase this if you need it for your vehicle.

I put mine in December 2017 and had no problem putting it in myself. It fits fine in my 2000 Ford Mustang 3.8L and running well. 4/18.

Installed into my 2002 mustang and it holds up so good hold pressure and I have way better cooling in my system because my old radiator was 22 years old had build up of particles and debris.

perfect fit like the original it could'nt of fit any better AWESOME DOWN TO THE EXACT MEASURE. THANK YOU SO MUCH.
