    this. Either RTV or gasket. I never get why people use both. Both work better alone imo

    you dont need a lift for the rack bushings. you can do it with jackstands pretty easy. Idler, pulleys and belts are so cheap I'd replace them unless you know for sure they are relatively new. But that's just me.

    There's no need. Its a good time to do your belts and pulleys though if you havent yet.

    Please listen to him. On all of this No one has issues running typical coolant for 30+ years and 100k miles. The "corrosion" issue is not an issue. You're going to be removing hoses and what not anyway, just go with the standard.
