I gave ours a cooling system “refresh”, replacing both radiator hoses, heater hoses (Mike’s upgraded kit), thermostat, surge tank and cap.

I used the multiple drain/refill cycle method @snomuncher recommend until the water ran completely clear. Used about 6 gallons of distilled water. Filled to a 50/50 mix with DexCool. Hasn’t gone over 208 degrees since.
