Should I do a coolant flush before I change the oil cooler and HPOP?

As you can see from my post on the "What did you do to your 6.0 today" thread I'm getting ready in the next couple of weeks to change out a bunch of stuff on my truck (early 2003 6.0) like the HPOP and oil cooler.

So, should I do the flush now? The truck still runs at idle up to 1500 RPMs so I can get it hot. I have a coolant filter to install also, and the ELC, and dist water.

Thanks
Paul

I would do the flush as close to the work being done as possible. Don't forget the VC-9 since your replacing the cooler.

Yep, got that too. I'm excited and scared at the same time! LOL
