Plugs/wires, pads/rotors, wiper fluid/blades, hoses, belts, that's all I can think of.

Got all that. The owners manual does not go into much detail. I'm using Mobil 1 with Fuel Power and Lube Control and Napa Gold filters. Doing UOA's(used oil analysis) to back up the combo. Read up on this good stuff at www.bobistheoilguy.com!

Pick up a set of factory service manuals if you wanna know how to do anything and everything to your truck. You can find the number to order them in the back of your owners manual.

Thanks Guys! You should go look into Fule power. It has been around for 50 years and has been proven to clean and maintain fule and diesel systems lines, injectors, conbustion chambers and the works. Also will give you a small boost in MPG. My insolubles in my last few used oil analysis went down from .6 to .2! That is a huge drop and prooves this stuff works wonders! It is cheep to, a gallon is $23.00 and treats over 600 gallons of fuel so it is like less then .50 cents a tank. It is a small company and was used mostly in industrial applications but now they are on the web and are selling to the public. This product is far better the anything else on the market so do yourself a favor and check it out at www.lubecontrol.com and www.bobistheoilguy.com. I'm just a happy customer and am no way connected to them, just want to share it with my fellow Chevy owners!
