Every 30k miles change the T-stat, tranny, and diff fluid. I think it's every 60k you do the ignition system, coolant every 2 years. I'm sure I'm missing plenty but I can't think of all of it right now.

You forgot the most important fluid change of all! [8D] Oil change every 3-4k. Add air filter change to the same schedule too unless you have a K&N or specialized filter.

But these schedules depends on your driving habits and your surrounding environment that can change these schedules more or less often per year.

Things will start to go wrong from now on as I bought a 99 D 5.9l here in Saudi...and I'm still sorting things out - much though I love it, it can be a total pain in the ar*e sometimes.

Start looking at the wiring loom - and in particular the state of the snap connectors joining it to the sensors around the engine - they can become brittle with age and start causing random sometimes there, sometimes not type problems - that you can think are really expensive to solve, but just need some wire and tape or a squirt from a can.
