Service procedure question

2001 F250 Super Duty 5.4 V8

Hey folks, from the people on these forums I have been able to do all the service to my truck myself.

Air Filter
Oil change and filter
Trans fluid and filter
Differential
Fuel filter

My question is: are there any service procedures to keep the longevity of my truck I am missing? If so could I get some help with them? Like what I am missing and maybe a brief how to?

Thanks in advance

-Matt

Belt
O2 sensors
PCV valve
MAF Sensor cleaning
Plugs, check for tightness regularly & replace NLT 100K
Coolant change 3 or 5yr depending on coolant type
