    2009 DCSB OR. Coming on 45,000 miles. Got it with approx 39,000 miles. I'm the second owner of this truck. Got it from a dealer and there's not much documented maintenance. I have a free weekend coming up so I figured I should knock out some maintenance and spring/summer prep work. I changed the oil to Mobil 1 synthetic about 3k ago but I'm planning on changing it again just to get it onto an easy 5k interval. Just looking for suggestions on what I should check/change and recommended parts and fluids. Here's what I'm thinking so far:

    New OEM filter + Mobil 1 full synthetic 5W-30
    Grease drive shaft (recommended grease?)
    Change rear diff fluid (recommended fluid brand/weight?)
    Get the rust off the frame, repaint and fluid film
    Clean and lube uniballs (Triflow)

    Carrier bearing?

    Mainly looking for joints and bearings that I should check and grease. Thanks for any help!

    Check the air filter and cabin filter.
    Being an '09, coolant drain and refill would not be a terrible idea, though the SLLC should still be good... might wait on that for 60k.

    I'll check the air filter. Cabin filter looked ok when I replaced the blower motor about 500 miles ago. Thanks for the input!

    check the tie rods, wheel bearings, ball joints, suspension, etc. Give everything a once over.

    Thanks for the tips guys. I have some rust converter, extreme chassis black and internal frame coating from Eastwood I plan on using before the FF. Thanks for reminding me about the tie rods!
