Check in the back of your owners manual, there is a list of items the factory requires to be serviced at various intervals. This is what I would go by.

as long as you're at it, replace the thermostat

Coolant is a 5 year or 100K mile service interval, so change it. Change the thermostat too, they don't last long in these trucks. . Hoses, etc should be fine but take a good look at them.

More than likely they are all made by the same chinamen setting on the floor of his hooch beating the snot out of a pice of tin with a bamboo hammer and a rock and stamping made in USA on it. Very little is made in USA anymore.

When I did mine I use Stant If for the only reason it was at one time the best in my Dad's eye. If nothing else just make sure you get the fail safe (if it fails it fails open) and you wont burn up the motor.
