I just did my maintenace on my truck, I did the fuel filter, air filter, oil change, tranny flush, lube the front end, oil filter, plugs, wires, PCV valve, and flushed the cooling system. I also checked the brakes like you did and changed my belt. Thats what I did, any body else think of anything me and angelofdeath need to do?

Don't forget your coolant flush if you haven't done that yet either...

You can use one of those hand pumps used to pump gear oil into a trans or rear end to suck the fluid out of the power steering pump resevoir. You then replace the fluid with some new stuff. You can also flush out the old brake fluid out of your calipers and brake lines. You'd be surprised how much trash build up in the fluid over the years and 75K or a 100K of driving. Guys with manual trans can also flush the old fluid out of their master and slave cylinder as well. 75K is a good time to do this.
