Getting thermostat replaced, anything else?

I am getting the thermostat replaced on my 01 on Monday under 3rd party warranty (yeah) and was wondering if there was anything preventative that they could do since they are already doing this work for the warranty item? My thought was to piggy back on the cost of the labor that is being paid for by the warranty company.

Not that you need to have the pelumn off, but you could replace the crackcase breather lines.

They could check and re-sync the TB's

Plugs are SUPER easy to change with the intake off.

I agree with crankcase breather hoses.. check if they are 'soft and squishy', if so then replace them. They are no that expensvie. They'll check the waterpump anyway but its always good thing to ensure it nice and healthy
