long road trip prep?

Hi all, I plan to take my truck (01 F250 stock 7.3l psd) From Detroit MI. area to Key Largo FL. in a month. What should I do/bring to ensure a trouble free trip? I've had the truck for 17 days and want to run through anything that could slow me down.
I just got a CPS spare from ebay, putting in a GPR later today (thanks to ford dealer for after sale support - NOT). I plan to do oil change and all filters.

Do I need to be concerned with fuel going from cold to warm temps and back?

Any spare parts or tools I should consider?

This pretty much what I carry in my truck, CPS, GPR, serpenitne belt, oil, desiel kleen, anti-freeze, UVC clips, tools, wire, spices, WD40, blanket, flash light and anything else that I might need when I haul my jeep into the back woods.

Hey bonz, you must like to cook while you travel? What kind of spices do you carry? JK, sorry, it just made me chuckle a little.
