It had been two years since I last changed the coolant. Time for a drain and refill. The drain plug on the new aluminum radiator helps out a lot, and my bleeder kit makes burping the system easy. I also replaced a coolant hose leading into the auto transmission cooler. The hose had a slight kink in it, so I swapped it with a piece I had on hand, and repositioned everything to avoid another kink.
