2002 Superduty
I have about 100,000 miles on the truck and need to change the antifreeze. I've tested it yearly and it's ok but it's time. Should I change hoses too and which ones ? They seem fine but I know appearance is deceiving. It has yellow antifreeze from the factory and hoses are original. Factory hoses or what brand? I have had issues in the past with non factory hoses being the same diameter and fit. What should I use?
Thanks!!!

It's time to get that stuff out of there. The attached link is long, but contains a lot of good info, as well as some part numbers and such. Others will be along also.
I went with G-05(same as factory gold) as at the time, ELC as mentioned in the link was difficult to find. I would replace thermostat and housing, as well as hoses at the least.

Around 100K miles is kind of a maintenance milestone. I've also attached a link to a failure prevention thread thats loaded with good stuff.
