Maintenance Advice Needed

I just got a 00 F150 7700 2wd automatic 5.4 that has 155,000 miles. I have no maintenance records for the truck so I want to go thru it and make sure all the maintenance is done. I already changed the oil, and cleaned the K&N air filter, but thats it. Also, it appears that it has the original drive belt, and original diff fluid.

So far the to do list is:
Fuel Filter
Spark Plugs
Drive Belt
Diff fluid

Any other suggestions?

Besides what you've listed I would

change tranny fluid
flush coolant
check tires (wear and pressure)
maybe run some seafoam through it for a few tanks to clean things

That should be a real good start

change power steering fluid as well, that crap gets oxidized quickly. @ 155k it would be a good idea to check your brake lines to see if they've been replaced... also check your bleeder screws... also check your suspension... leaf spring brackets, shackles, ball joints, etc... if I think of anything else I'll throw it up here for ya.

i agree in checking the brake lines. hard line is only a few dollars a foot. good to replace any really rusted sections now.
