Default Maintenance ?

I have a 07 just wondering what everyone recommends for the maintenance schedule. Such as differentials, transmission, radiator, and any others i may be forgetting. Of course i know of the oil and fuel filter maintenance.

Differentials should be done by 5000 miles if not sooner the first time. Then you're good for a while depending on what you put in there and how you use the truck, could range from 25000 to 100,000.
Tranny is usually by 30,000. Then again it can last 30-100 depending on fluid and use.
The dex cool antifreeze??? Isn't that stuff supposed to last 100,000?? Many don't like it and get it out early but that's you're call.
Power steering and brake fluid are often forgotten about. PS should be done every 30k or so. Simple and cheap to do.
Brake fluid they say should be done at 2-3 year intervals as water starts to accumulate and decrease the effectiveness.


Just guidelines for ya. Many differ on how they do it.
