Any more Suggestions for my 1996 AWD 5.0 Tune up?

[Cavcounts]

Hello, Im about to get my Explorer back from the shop tonight. When I bought it, it was making horrible vibrations and noises up front and pulling, I knew almost instantly it needed a new wheel bearing, So now that the bearing is good to go, Im wanting to get the most out of my new Explorer (While keeping it about 98% stock) Im mostly interested in getting more miles to the gallon out of her..I know I know, shes a 5.0 with 155k miles, shes probably NEVER gonna see 20mpg, but its still always worth a try.

Currently on my list are the changes/improvements below. Id love for the experts to fill me in on their suggestions (Brands, etc)

-Flush Radiator/refill
-Flush both Differentials/Refill
-Flush Tranny and Transfer case/Refill
-spark plugs/wires
-oil change
-cold air intake system (K&N 57 Series is what Im currently looking at)
-And Of course.. SEAFOAM! and fuel cleaning system a few times around.

any other ideas??

1) Any radiator coolant will work (green of course).

2) Rear diff is 75w - 140 synthetic fluid (mobil 1 or Valvoline) + the friction modifier if you have a limited slip it will take at least 2 quarts.
I do not remember what you need for the front diff. 85w- 90?


3) transmission any high quality Mercon V fluid same with the transfer case (Royal purple)
Dead Link Removed

4) Platinum plugs with wires. I used Napa's wires with Autolite plugs.

5) Synthetic oil 5w-30 and napa gold oil filter. Napa synthetic oil is valvoline oil; produced at the same place and the same oil literally and is slightly less expensive.

6) I just ordered a MAC Performance cold air intake $170. K&N is too expensive.

8) Clean your throttle body. Also new O2 sensors will help a lot with gas milage even if they aren't "bad". New sensor will have better readings.

If you don't mind spending some money you could also get a cat back exhaust system as well. And get electric fans and remove the fan clutch more HP and MPGs I plan on doing that myself soon.
