getting geared up for winter maintenance

[Brian]

I know I am early on this but wanted to start gathering parts while they are available. I plan to replace the factory water hoses on my 97 only because of the years on them. I plan to also repalce the tstat and desomg it while in that far. I see on the parts lists other o-rings and seals on the water tubes. They are not leaking at this time. Should I also consider replacing these? I have everything else for the driveline, this will be the first for the water side other than just changing coolant.
