Oil, filter, plugs, COPS or wires (depending on how it's wired), and - oh, yeah, listen carefully to the timing chain.

Otherwise, keep an eye on it and keep on truckin'!

Early Magnum heads are noted to be brittle - compression check wouldn't hurt.

Pay close attention to the transmission. Any noises or slippage in reverse, even a time lag before reverse engages and your trans is near death.

There is no help available.

Keep up the routine maintenance, and you should be good to go. Also like mentioned above, keep an eye out on the transmission. It should be good for another 125K if you maintain it, and don't beat on it too hard.
