100K Questions.

While on my way home form the in-laws in Maine I passed 100K. I bought it new and I have got to tell you guys that I love this truck!!!

Now for my questions. I am planning on flushing the coolant, changing the oil and filter, tranny fluid and filter (installing a BTS vb at the same time), diff oil, transfer case fluid, fuel filter. Outside of these what else do you guys suggest for PM? Also when changing these fluids what do you recommend?

I plan on keeping this truck for a long time so I do not mind spending a little bit more now that a lot more then.

Thanks in advance to all!!

Dirty

I've got 80K, but the truck is 5 years old. I have gold coolant ('02). Do you need to actually flush the coolant or just drain and refill the radiator?

Thanks for the replies! As for the coolant, I have never changed it or even put in some additives, so I think that it is time to totaly change it.
