Hello,

Keep in mind that the components on your vehicle is made specifically for that model with very little interchange options.
Only other vehicle uses this radiator is the Mercury Mountaineer with the 5.0 V8.

Remember to only work the cooling system when the engine is cool.

Here are couple of helpful articles:

Please let me know of any questions.
Thank you.
