I recommend replacing hoses (all if you can afford it but at least the ones that carry the hot coolant) too while your in there and flushing out the system (not just draining it) use mercedes coolant and the 82 degree therostat and fan switch . Plastic zip tie to keep the new hose from sitting on the block when your done as you will cut the old one off. Use some type of corrosion preventitive compound (wd-40) on clamps and bolt when replacing . You don't have the heater bypass valve so you won't make the same mistake I did with that i guess. Replace one hose at a time if your worried about remembering where they go. Get a new Mech too. What's up with those people?!
