I replace filters and fluids on the schedule. All else as broken or worn. When I did the waterpump I would have replaced rubber hoses and thermostat as well, except the existing rubber looked so good and the thermostat was a half step beyond the water pump on this engine. I park my truck on customer driveways so it can't be leaking. The water pump did weep on a customer's driveway (brand new concrete flatwork) which took some doing to clean up.
