Everyhting should be just fine. As long as you change the normal things like oil and spark plugs and wires, etc then you will be okey for a while. People worry a lot about a high mileaged vehicle (50k isn't) , including myself. But as long as you take care of your toys, then people have nothing to worry about...generally speaking.

Recommended services are detailed in the owner's manual. I was really surprised to find that there isn't much that needs to be done until 100K. Just shows how far GM has come in the last ten years. 100k used to be a death warrant, now it's just the halfway point.

I have 50k on mine, so I installed a trex, along with a few other mods. Runs great now.
