Maintenance help

Hello All, i have been doing maintenance and preventative maintenance on my truck but I feel like I'm missing something. I will write what i have done and if you can think of anything else let me know please. I drive a 2006 Tacoma double cad long bed and it has 95k miles on it currently.

I did spark plugs and the automatic transmission flush(did not take pan off) @76k

I just cleaned the MAF sensor and throttle body(was very impressed after) how often should I clean them?

oil change and air filter change on 5k/10k intervenes

I believe my truck does not have any zerk fittings so I have not done that but I figure I should be trying to grease something? Also what things should I be inspecting? Can I be doing any other maintenance or preventive maintenance? Sorry for newby questions but I do not have a very sound mechanical background.

*********UPDATE*************

Have already done:
Besides always doing oil change / air filter change / cabin air filter / Brakes
Replaced belt
Cleaned throttle body + changed gasket
Cleaned MAF
Replaced spark plugs
Flushed transmission oil
Back differential oil

Maintenance i have just completed:(from suggestion of this post and others)
Drain and replace coolant
Power steering flush
Brake fluid flush
Added a back up camera (have an AVN2554 head unit)
Squeaky Leaf fix(w/ he bicycle inner-tube)
*I will print out that torque list and make sure everything is torqued to spec...

I still have questions on:
Do i need to do any other preventable maintenance?
What are the specific items to inspect in the suspension? and what should i be looking for?

 

Check your brakes too those are kinda important haha but sounds like your doing it right. Shocks might need replacing as they are probably old and worn out by now. All simple stuff

 

Oh and all filters checked out and cleaned every other oil change

 

all gear oil. spray white lithium grease on all hinges including fuel door.

 

power steering flush. my truck has 106k and the power steering fluid was really low

 

GREASE!!!

You need to grease your driveshaft(s). You'll find zerks at the u-joints.

 

I wish i could but there are not zerk points on my drive shaft.

Thank you all for your posts, I check I have all these items looked at. Does anyone know of any good writes up for power steering, brake, and coolant flushes?

i have done the back differential oil... but other than that what oil can i change out? also what should a i grease?

 

I never found a good write up for the power steering flush. I just looked up on YouTube and watched people do it on random cars. I learned that just about every car is exactly the same procedure

 

Ok I will update my 1st post with this information. There were a few items i left out of my 1st post as well.

Is there anything i can lube and or grease up?

 

I'd say you hit em all man , good job. Maybe check frame for rust, if you find any, take it off and spray paint over.

 

Ill make a few calls, thank you.

Yea ill check the frame for any rust. Thanks

 

Every now and then, it's good to use a clay bar on the paint before waxing. Battery terminals can be cleaned with baking soda and water. I also use seafoam every few oil changes.

 

What is sea foam and and why and where do you use it?

 

Seafoam claims to do a number of things, but mainly it helps to clean out parts of your engine that may have deposit build up (e.g. fuel injectors or pistons). It can help smooth out the idle, and keep the engine running clean. I usually put a 16oz can of it in my tank after I get a full tank of gas, maybe every 20,000 miles or so. Some people try to get fancy and put it in their oil or other places, but I don't bother with doing that. From what I've researched, Seafoam works better than other fuel injector cleaners, like techron.
