36k Preventive Maint
My 2000 4Runner is coming up on it's end of warranty with 34, 500 miles (bought used 6/03 with only 16k) and I'm taking it in for a few PM items and a good look-over. I tow boats and a trailer on occasion. Here's my list of items I'm having done (I've only been doing my own oil/filter changes lately; getting too old for the other stuff). I'm at work and don't have the owners manual with me and would appreciate any feedback:
1. Flush/refill radiator
2. Flush/refill transmission
3. Flush/refill transfer case
4. Flush/refill differential
5. Wheel alignment check
6. Chassis/Drive line lube
The air filter has been cleaned re-oiled, crankcase oil is synthetic w/4k on it, the oil filter was changed this past weekend and the tires balanced about 2 weeks ago.
Thanks for the feedback!

I know you said you are getting "too old" for the other stuff, but replacing the oil in your diffs and transfer case is super easy. I'm not sure what the dealer is going to charge to do this for you, but it only takes about an hour of your time. Just thought I'd throw that out there.

I have done (on my older 4Runner) and would do the tranny, transfer case, rear diff and radiator flushes plus the drive line lube myself if it wasn't for having the stealer give it a look-over for the end-of-warranty thing. I'm just too danged tired with spring here, especially since this past winter wrecked havoc on the "estate".
