F-350 maintenance

Hey guys,

Picked up another truck and I have been catching up with the maintenance for it.

Besides the basics oil change, transmission and air filter.

What should I do? I'm looking for tips for a complete tune up.

It's a 1997 F-350 DRW 7.5L E40D

Thank, looking forward to see what you guys have in mind.

She's a beaut Clark! If it were me I'd ditch that topper and put an access roll up on there. How many miles?

-change the rear diff gear oil
-check the condition of your drivetrain bushings, tie rod ends and sway bars.
-check front hubs/bearings and the twin I-beam bushings as well
-take the brake drums off and make sure the parking brake arm is pulled all the way back, and to see if the cable is free. It probably isn't.

Other than that it should be pretty well bullet proof.
