I have a thread on here about mine. I went all Bosch, and don't regret it for a minute. I thought I would, and that is kind of what the thread was about :lol:

Nothing wrong with fuel system cleaner.

Plugs
Wires
Fuel filter
Diffs
Brake fluid flush

That's what I did when I got mine around that same mileage.

Check the tranny fluid too.

I put ACDelco Iridium plugs and Delphi Packard wires on my 6.0L. If you haven't done it, I'd suggest cleaning the throttle body and the MAF as well. :dunno:

Clean the MAF and the throttle body.

Don't forget:

Belts
Hoses
Coolant

If they haven't been done before now

^^^ All good advice. Standard maintenance items are all you need.

The forgotten fluid, power steering. Wouldn't hurt to swap it out as well. Don't forget the usual grease fittings. Does it have an in cab air filter?



Almost forgot, the muffler bearings usually go out at 90k. :jester:
