Welcome Wayne!

You've pretty much got everything covered already it seems. There aren't too
many problems with these trucks. The only thing I'd recommend is to perhaps
give your TB a good cleaning while you're in there doing the other work.

Be sure to use the correct trans fluid (ATF+4) and remember to add modifier
if you've got limited slip differentials. (Is your truck 2wd or 4wd?)

Check out the site, we've got a meet coming up in Colorado this July, come
out and meet all of us if you're interested.
