Coolant flush and what else.....

I'm prepping to do the coolant flush and fill. Got to thinking and I am wondering if there is anything else that I should replace in association as long as I'm changing the fluid anyway.

Any suggestions or recommendations?

See that is something I would not think of. Thanks.

How about the front engine mount since you'll be there any way.

That's what I was thinking and I wish I had done when I did my WP + thermostat. Plus new belt and possibly new pulleys. If you want to do an underdrive pulley this is the time to do it as well.

Use an airlift to vacuum and refill, they are a blessing. I recently bought the OEM brand knockoff and it works perfect, saved lots of time and made the effort easy and clean. 50 bucks.

I can't see anything. Is that a pic of Aretha Franklin Live at the Apollo?

Thanks for all of the suggestions.

Motor mount was done last year so I don't need to work on that.

I do have the UView 550000 Airlift for the coolant exchange. I've never used it so we'll see how that goes.


Ordered the low temp thermostat, underdrive pully and belt.
