2002 Liberty Coolant hoses

[sdeville]

My 2002 Liberty is approaching the mfg. recommended 5 year coolant flush. Do I need to be concerned with replacing the coolant thermostat and hoses also?

If the hoses are in good shape you don't have to, but it would be a good idea to change them. If the thermostat is still working the way it should, there is no reason to change it.

hoses and thermostat are cheap!!! take the time to do it right. better in the driveway than on the highway 30 miles from home. trust me
