Attempting a coolant drain/flush tomorrow.

If my engine lately has been reading a higher temperature than normal, is a coolant drain/flush a good idea if it hasn't been done in a long time? (my car has 107k miles on it).

if that dummy gauge is reading high it might be a good idea to pick up a thermostat since your about to dump the fluid anyway. Also check your fans, etc.
