Water pump replacement what else?

Getting redy to order a water pump, thermostat and cover.

What else should I be thinking of while the front end is apart?

Almost thinking about changing the oil cooler Orings while I'm in ther also?

I did my oil cooler while I did the water pump and also billet thermostat housing, I would also change the top radiator hose to the duel alternator one if you haven't yet.

Get the new DieselSite water pump with a built in filter. Bad A$$ IMHO. I'm going to give my dad my coolant filter setup for his truck and get me one of the new ones after the 1st of the year. A very clean setup.

What coolant are you planning on running?

Thanks for the response guys.

Currently, I just put brand new Preston ELC coolant in it after changing my injector cups. Zero miles on the coolant. I also just add the external filter from Guzzle's write up,new hoses all the way around, new degas bottle and cap.

I was thinking about just going ahead and changing the oil cooler orings while it's all drained even though I'm not showing any signs of leaks at this point.

I will get a new thermo. and cover too.

New Oil filter if you are going to remove it to do O-rings on the oil cooler.
