Default 2006 FX4 mainteance Question

I have a 2006 FX4 with 112,000 miles. Had to have the transmission rebuilt at 90,000 miles. Now I am getting ready to go to Iraq in a month or so and am wondering what is recommended for mainteance work to be done to the truck while I am gone since I will have the extra money saving up. I am looking to just write a list and have my buddy take it to the shop and let them tear into it. I need it to run for another 112k.

Thanks.

Is your friend going to be driving it? If so just give him the maintenance manual. The manual will tell him all that needs to be done at mileage or time intervals

I always use some oil stabilizer like from Lucas Oil (http://www.lucasoil.com/products/display_products.sd?iid=49&catid=7&loc=show&headTi tle=%20-%20Lucas%20Synthetic%20Oil%20Stabilizer) and something in the gas tank (http://www.lucasoil.com/products/display_products.sd?iid=84&catid=8&loc=show&headTi tle=%20-%20Lucas%20Fuel%20Stabilizer). Probably not needed but I have never had a problem coming home from the dessert to my vehicles either.... so far..... Looking for wood to knock on.....

Good luck to you in your mission sir, from an active duty Airman in Maryland, let us know when you get home, well and what mods your planning with that deployment cash!

Thank you all I appreciate it. I will only be changing the shocks, tires, slotted rotors and ceramic pads, and replacing Flowmaster with a dynomax muffler when I return, My wife is very anti going crazy with this thing. Current Mods are Troyer Tuned with Xcal2, Airraid Intake, Flowmaster 40 Series, and front end leveled.
