I need to flush out my coolant and put in new fluid. Is it OK to go ahead and do that while I'm waiting to get parts for my oil cooler line job? I would hate to flush it out and put all new coolant in to have it drained again during the next job. I'm going to replace the engine mounts/shocks at the same time at the oil cooler lines.

well... it's POSSIBLE that the radiator might need removing during the hose change, and a proper flush needs you to run the engine... and I don't recommend you running YOUR engine with that hose on there. so, I'd hold off.
