![]() I would replace both radiator hoses, the fan belt(s), the radiator cap, the t-stat, and the coolant before making your trip.
I would purchase a Stant pressure release cap (with the red handle) rated at 16 pounds. I would buy a 180 degree t-stat, either from Ford, or any brand other than Stant. Stant makes great caps, but their t-stats suck. I wouldn't install a coolant/water mixture that had any more than 30% coolant. Coolant retains heat, and a mixture containing more than 30% coolant isn't necessary unless you live near the Arctic Circle. Where in California are you moving to? Take care, -Chris
