2008 Yukon Denali with 146K, coolant changed last at 65K, but will be time for a flush again this summer, because of 5 years. Local shop recommends changing upper and lower radiator hoses along with a new cap, due to age. Local lube place says hoses are made to last longer these days... check for soft spots and if none are present, just change the coolant. Obviously, the lube place does the abbreviated version because they don't deal with replacing hoses. What would you do... flush only, if all appears fine; or flush, hoses and cap even if hoses have no soft spots? I don't want to deal with getting rid of the old coolant, so I will pay to have it done.
