Default Dealer "Tune Up"

My 2002 just rolled over 102,000 and I bought the truck a few months ago. I figured since I haven't had it long, might as well have a dealer tune up since I have just been changing the oil and filter along with the fuel filter. I was planning on having them flush the coolent system, change the tranny fluid and filters, changed the T-case fluid, and change the front and rear diff fluid. Seeing i am in Maine and my hometown is Asheville NC. I have no place to do it myseld or else would love to.

Do you guys have anyother ideas what I should have done, or remove from my list while I am thinking about it?

thanks for your experties.

Might have them check your fuel pressure so you know the condition of your lift pump.

The lift pump supplies fuel to the injection pump. If the lift pump goes out, you'll fry your injection pump. The stock lift pumps on the 24v's a junk and you'd be lucky to make it past 100k on the stocker.

how much and how hard are a aftermarket one to install. Got any web sites I can maybe buy one at. Planning on building this August for my senoir Project and have a lil extra to spend on such things like that.

thanks
