Ok, lets have a girl answer this one...Okay first you need to make sure that obviously your oil is done. Then you need to have all of your fluids flushed and refilled, this can be done at a Shop because they have the right machines, you can't just empty it out and refill...its not the same. By fluids I mean Coolent, and Transmission, you need to make sure you have your brakes checked, tie rods, basically go and tell them you want all of your front end parts checked. Have your tires rotated...you should be doing this every oil change it evenly distributes the wear on your tires so you don't have to buy new ones all the time. When they look at the tires ask them how the alignment is...This can also cause your tires to wear funny and you will also go through tires quickly. And being yours are truck tires they will be expensive. It wouldn't hurt for them to check, the fuel filter, air filter and your serpentine belts. Also make sure they check your plugs, plug wires, and cap and rotor. All of this stuff can be expensive, and make sure you take it to someone you trust because belive me they can rip you off. I ran a shop yes..a female I am a racer so I do know how it can be difficult for a woman to get anything done. But take someone with you that might know about it too. If your still not sure email me amgpsycho@yahoo.com I used to write estimates all day, even though it will be hard without seeing your vehicle I could guess if they are ripping you off. You need to have these items checked every 30,000miles. Checking them can increase fuel effieciency. Good luck

I don't know if I have the correct name for it, as I'm not a native english speaker, but the most common thing would be that the distribution belt might have to be replaced... I hope this word makes sense....

Oil change? Air filter? Fuel Filter? That's about all I can think of.
