Default at 100k miles.. what needs to be changed?

i just bought this car with 101k miles.. i didnt get an owners manual so i wanted to know what we need to service at 100k miles...

im going to assume the previous owner didnt do anything to it yet so im just go to go through the whole car and change what is needed..

i did notice the spark plug wires are newer.. they are MSD..

the K&N filter doesnt look like it has any oil left on it.. i was just going to go with a paper air filter since people said there is no gain from the K&N..


the things on my list are:

Fuel Filter
Air Filter
rear diff fluid change
trans fluid change
oil change
PCV

what am i missing?

New plugs
Coolant flush
Belts/hoses if needed (check for cracking)
Check brakes

That's all off the top of my head at the moment.....

Use Dexcool, GM approved coolant. That was designed for the LS1 motor/block material. Some people like to convert over to the old green stuff but I personally don't agree with that.

For the plugs, get some NGK TR55s and gap them around .055.

Yep, dexcool and TR55's are a favorite. You can download a manual here if you want one: http://shbox.com/pdf/manuals.html
