while you're changing the oil, flushing radiator, good time check/change the tranny fluid too, and the rear end. Also lift the wheels to check for bearing end play, if loose adjust, if dirty, clean them and re-pack. The first thing to do as you're getting your oil etc, is grab a repair manual for that vehicle (it'll pay for itself the first time you use it ) not a bad idea to give it a thorough once over now, to avoid being broke down or crashed later. Happy driving
inspect your steering linkage too for loose/worn steering links, and grease it well. Those have kingpins too which need inspected for play ( by grabing the tire while raised and pulling it side to side to check for play, play here is usually an indicator of loose wheel bearings though) and greased also ( grease fitting above and below the kingpin, the kingpin basically holds your steering wheels on and allows it to swivel)
lol, also good to inspect your driveshaft for loose/worn u-joints and grease them too lol again. You check that all out now and you'll be good to go for miles, if not may be broke soon
