Don't know what you've done to it so far but...

New fuel filter (clean out bottom of fuel bowl while in there)
Clean your air filter
Change the oil
New brake fluid (bleed system)
Transmission service to include new fluid AND new in-pan filter
Radiator flush & new coolant, new t-stat, new t-stat housing (install a new coolant bypass filter system on your truck...worth it's weight in gold)
Change your rear differential fluid
Grease all your ball joints

I would add, remove valve covers, retorque the injector hold downs and rocker bolts. If you haven't done the in tank mods, do them too.

I would install a larger transmission cooler while I was at it as that is as good as gold! And have a oil sample tested to look for other trouble spots like oil cooler, and high silica or iron levels. Adjust your steering box. Adjust your parking brake shoes. Lube your drive shaft slip yolk if equipped. Replace CAC bootsand clamps.
