I flush/replace my coolant every 2 - 3 years and keep a close eye on the entire cooling system {hoses, clamps etc.}. I think running full synthetic oil {trans fluid and differential} is a good idea as well and like chicken soup, "It might not help but it couldn't hurt..."
Always carry lots of water and stay hydrated.
