As far as the other items go, looks like I'll probably have the following replaced at the Local Independent Shop:
* Transmission Fluid
* Fuel Filter
* Battery
* Serpentine Belt (if necessary)
Tylus, thanks for the detailed responses & 60k Checklist
I wouldn't do anything but consider the transmission fluid but since you want to waste your money, I have a couple of questions. Why change the battery if it is working OK? The battery in my 01 Escape still works fine. Why the serpentine belt? The belt on my 01 Escape is fine at 110,000 miles and I've had cars with 170,000 miles on them with the original still on them.
