I would say change out the Coolant also....Well, thats based on my expeirence with older cars too, but the new vehicles may be different. I have never done this, but I have a friend who has a 84 monte carlo 385cid over 400 horsepower..he uses distilled water and anti-freeze. His cooling system stays clean from the deposites tap water has in it.....

Yes, I forgot. I'd change the coolant. I did on two different occasions and still had a radiator problem at 120,000 miles.

As Brian listed the things to change, the most important thing is the blinker fluid.
One time I turned my left blinker on and nothing! I sat there in traffic cause I couldn't turn left. So I had to make three right turns.
Happened to find out that my left blinker fluid was bone dry. It could've ruined my blinker bulb. Next time I know. Trial and error.

Well, I had started to think nobody was going to catch it, OR...
everybody was afraid they might look like they didn't know all about their truck so they off searching for the blinker fluid fill cap!
along those lines....
Be sure to change the air in your tires, especially the spare!
