Hey, so my old radiator basically was already cracked. I put a new coat of J-B stick on to cover the cracks. I just ordered a Silla radiator. Is that all I need to install it? or will I need to order other parts?

No its not hard. Just drain properly and refill. The issue comes if you have an auto and you bought a Manual trans radiator. The cooling section for the auto will be missing and you "may" have overheating issues with the trans.
