Post Tuneup advice

Hello Everyone,

My 97' Ranger XLT just hit 105k and I am looking for some advice on what to "tune up". I change my plugs and oil, check my brakes, and fill up my radiator fluid when I am supposed to......but beyond that what can I do to make sure the truck runs as well as possible?

Tuneup advice

Have you ever had the timing belt repalced? How about checking for any bad codes in the computer? Check all belt and hoses around the engine comarment and replace any that are bad and thats about it.
