Default 30k Mile Service

I'm about to roll over the 30,000 mile mark and I was wondering if there was anything else you all would recommend doing besides what is stated in the manual. Specifically anything with the trans or diff? Thanks in advance.

30,000 Mile Service Schedule
Replace engine air filter
Replace fuel filter
Replace cabin air filter
Perform multi-point inspection
Inspect and lubricate all non-sealed steering linkage,ball joints,suspension joints,half and drive-shafts and u-joints
Inspect brake pads/shoes/rotors/drums, brake lines and hoses, and parking brake system
Change engine oil and replace oil filter (Up to 5 quarts of oil. Perform at specified mileage interval or every 6 months, whichever occurs first)
Rotate and inspect tires; check wheel end play and turning noise
Inspect engine cooling system and hoses
Inspect complete exhaust system and heat shields

If you need to replace your stock air filter, then it's 30,000 miles overdue to get a CAI & tune. The cabin air filter is user replaceable. The fuel filter is also a DIY job. All else is just stuff for the dealer to make $$. You can inspect most of that when you're underneath doing your oil changes.

I also recommend replacing the fuel filter soon. I'm at 32,000 miles and that's my only real item of importance pending.

That list is just a copy/paste from another site, I have a cai/tune and do my own oil. I'm sure I could inspect things myself but I really don't know exactly what I should be looking for.
