I got up to 110k and decided it's time to overhaul the system before it's too late. Before the overhaul the expansion tank had cracked and that was about it. I was lucky considering the belts were completely shot. Thanks to a buddy of mine, I can now sleep at night knowing that area has been tackled.

I would advise changing the t-stat housing, all gaskets associated, belts and pulleys.

GL with the project, are you DIY, or indy?
