Flushed coolant and swapped tstats last night. Comparing the BW and LN side by side, the only noticeable difference I could tell was the spring (with flange) that is on the water pump side is much more stiff on the BW then the LN. I killed my battery while flushing the system though so hopefully I can't finish up tonight or this weekend.
Btw, I found that I drained an extra gallon of coolant from the front radiators by jacking the front up about 4" higher. No need to disconnect the front hoses (or the AC compressor lines, which I did in an exceptionally bone head move lol).
On a side note, I cleaned my radiators. I've seen some videos where guys don't remove the surrounding shroud and separate the two but you have gotta do this - my compressor fins looked pretty clean but when I moved them out of the way I was shocked to see how much **************** made it through those fins and into the radiator fins. Pic below, just for funsies.
