Hi all!
Another baselining question but this time, it's with the cooling system.
I've gone through a bunch of threads regarding the updating of the cooling system but I didn't see anything about the water inlet/outlet housing...
QUESTION: If I'm going through everything in the cooling system to replace and update, should I remove/replace the water inlet/outlet? Or should they be pulled and cleaned and just put back on? Or are they one of those, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" kind of deals?
They aren't leaking but I'm replacing (shown below) the thermo, water pump, fan clutch, etc...All as preventative maintenance. She's been good on these it,es for the seven years I've owned her (and 20k miles) but I don't know what the PO did and didn't do as far as maintenance and now that I CAN do preventative maintenance, I want to. I just need to know if these two forged steel parts can remain or if they should be replaced.
Also, I'm posting my spreadsheet for my coolant baseline...if anything is missing, please let me know!
Green = Purchased
Yellow = On Deck to Purchase
Thanks in advance!
