If the tranny fluid hasn't been changed in 90k miles I'd go ahead and take care of that as well.
+1 Also, if you have an original radiator cap and thermostat it is a good idea to replace them. That way you know every is fresh.

Of all the parts in the coolant system the one that failed most often is heater hoses. Check those hoses and replace if needed.
Yeah just came back from getting it changed and we put in 1 gallon of straight and 1 gallon of 50/50 Prestone and my system is 10 quarts and was wondering if I should go ahead and put 2 quarts of water in there to make sure there is 10 quarts of coolant in there or how should I do it if I want to keep a 70/30 ratio of coolant to water because I know it get's very cold here up in new england, like down to -40 below F.
Muffler bearings?
For 70/30 you would need seven quarts of straight antifreeze and three quarts of pure water. One gallon of straight and one gallon of 50/50 has you at six quarts straight and two quarts water.
For 70/30 you'll need one more quart of straight and one more quart of pure water.

Or 2 quarts 50/50.
