I fully agree with Curt.
It is also an excellent time to replace the 2-inch long hose between
the heater valve and the heater core, and to have your heater core
flushed, externally cleaned and checked out for leaks/corrosion (talk
to your nearest radiator shop).
Just my opinion, learned the hard way myself....  Good luck.
