Change the spark plug's and cop's. Check/replace the air filter, change the oil/filter, flush or at least drain/refill the cooling system, change the thermostat, replace both serpentine belts and all hoses.

That's it.

You can't change the fuel filter on the newer trucks, it's one piece with the fuel pump in the tank.
