So I would do it all at once: tank, cap, pump, t-stat and fresh pink lemonade. Replace the cap in two years when you flush the brake fluid.
Changed the cap about 200 miles ago; thanks.

Basically in the same boat. I don't know what type of coolant is in there. I'm going to change to Pink in the Spring. Also do the WP & Thermostat, maybe tank(It makes sense even though I have no issued now). I just put the new cap on a month ago. I'll do the 'O' rings in the bleeder too.
Only waiting because I want warm weather and I need to gather Air Lift tool and Air compressor.
My plan is to flush 2 times with just water, flush last time with distilled water.
do the mechanics and then fill with 50/50 pink

Seems like a good time to also do the AOS - Fresh start.
