coolant replacement

Gotta 99.5 w/ 97,xxx miles on her. Done a ton of preventative things (thanks Clay/Guzzle's site pics), and now, changing the coolant. Have the coolant, but curious, with the miles on it, was wondering if its a good idea to replace the water pump as well. Hate to see new coolant in, at the tone of 150 buks, to end up on the road?

If it were me, I would. The thermo too. Stick with a stock replacement from Clay.

That'll work, Stuart, what about the heater core? Got the new/wrap around top hose, guess i'll get the bottom too.

New hoses are a good idea too, Tommyboy. Preventive maintenance always is.
