250,000 Mile Makeover

Ok, so as soon as the weather clears, I'm going to pull under the shade tree and try to revitalize it. Here's my list so far:
1. Repair 4WD using transfer case motor rebuild
2. Repair ABS by cleaning speed sensor hopefully
3. Change Transmission Fluid and Filter
4. New Spark Plugs and Wires
5. New Serpentine Belt
6. Change oil and filter/lube zerks
7. Clean Mass Airflow Sensor
8. Tighten Lower Intake
9. Replace rear bumper and repair rust spots
10. Fix trailer wiring once and for all
11. Find leak around windshield/sunroof and fix it
12. New brake pads
13. Think about new suspension bushings up front
14. Figure out while fuel gage doesn't work (sunken float?)

So what am I missing? Any other sensors, detectors, worn-out things, etc. I should work over?

How about shocks...they good?
 






air filter? fuel filter (a chore to do)? check your ball joints, or king pins, or whatever they are called on your particular truck. have fun
 






How about the rear differential? You might as well:D
 






Put new shocks on last year. I dunno about the rear diff and ball joints - I'll have to read up in my haynes and see if that's over my head. I forgot about the fuel filter - and I'm thinking of replaceing the air filter with one of those high-flow ones.

I'm getting a pretty long WP doc with everyone's instructions on how to do everything, when I get done I'll .pdf it and post it somewhere.
