Water pump and thermostat replacement 2012

[rwmorrisonjr]

With 176k and the coolant being way down it's time to replace the water pump. Should I replace the thermostat at the same time as a precaution so I don't need to crack the system again? I'll probably swap the coolant out to the new yellow at the same time since I can't buy the orange anymore.

Anything I need to be aware of before I order the parts?

If you have not replaced the heater hose plastic t assembly, would be good to do as a preventative measure

Thanks. Will order them since I found them both on RockAuto. Couldn't find the inlet hose the first time around. Also going to replace the original radiator hoses as a preventative measure while I have the system cracked open.
