Default Doing Waterpump: What else?

84,000 miles and the waterpump is going. I told my guy to do the Serpintine belt also. Anything else while he's in there?

You do the spark plugs already if not maybe now is the time! probably take a look at the ball joints as well.

I've heard that anytime the waterpump is replaced, to change the thermostat, as well as a complete flush and fill of the coolant.

What model is your car? GS430 then replace the timing belt, GS300/350 then you don't need to do anything else.
