Fuel Injectors

Im going to bring my 2000 Expy in for spark plugs, fuel filter change, coolent change, should I have the injectors cleaned?
Also how about a front end alignment?
Thanks ~Gage~
My Expy has 83000 mile on it, its a 5.4 V8
Did I miss anything?

I change the plugs in my 99, 5.4 in about 8 hours (first time) at 145K. I used an after market injector/carb cleaner at about 97% of my fuel fills. Haven't had an injector problem EVER.

If it's running fine I wouldn't mess with the injectors, if anything add a can of Sea Foam to your gas the next time you fill up. I do this about once every 6 months to mine to help keep the injectors clean.

As far as the alignment, I'd say if it goes down the road stright (i.e. doesn't pull to the left or right) and your steering wheel is centered when going stright and your tires a wearing evenly, I don't think I'd worry about that either. Like they say, if it ain't broke don't fix it.
