1994 Exploder - 150k mile maintenance

I'm about to do the scheduled maintenance on my Exploder, and about to go to the parts store to get the stuff I need. Anyway, as someone here suggested, I'm going to get muffler bearings and new fluid for the turn signals. Is there anything else I'm missing? What do you guys change at 150k miles?

Make sure you have the appropriate air in the tires, winter air right now, drain and refill in late spring ready for the summer

Normally at 150K, you need a new trans. Sorry, couldn't resist.... Also, make sure you fill it with FREE gas if you can find it.

Mine ('91) has 205+k on it. Truthfully I did nothing special at 150k.

Holy Crap!? It's 2009 and you just now have 150K?!

When I was in high school I drove a '93 XLT and traded it in in 2002 w/ 198K on it. That was only about 20K/year.

My '08 F250 bought in September has 13K...

If it only does it when braking, then it's probably brake related. Check and make sure the claiper slide pins are greased. It could also be the pad wear sensor hitting the rotor or the backing plate if its messed up. Does the truck pull at all when braking?
