Tips for taking "L" out of Winter Storage

Just about to take the Lightning out of Winter Storage in the next couple of weeks. With that in mind, I was wondering if anyone has suggestions as to what I should have done mechanically to it other than changing the oil and fuel filter? I.e. Thinking about doing a coolant flush, brkae fluid,etc.

The truck has 53,000 km (33,000 Miles) on the odometer.
Thanks very much,

HORSE9

I'm just about to do the same thing. I am due for an oil change, so that's first (and filter). I also check the air in the tires, anti-freeze, intercooler fluid, clean air cleaner (aftermarket)...all fluids. Not going to change anti-freeze til I need to, but perhaps a jolt of rad additive to refresh the chems in it. Also make sure intercooler pump is operating after warmup. Also need new tunes in CD player!

I'd flush ALL the fluids before you start it. All that "crap" has settled to the bottom and should be drained. Especially the oil.
