Mine is '05 as well and a little over 43k miles. What kind of maintenance should I look into other than the usual oil change. A link to DIY would be nice.

Everything should be in the manual. At 30k maintenance it's recommend that you change the transmission / differential fluid. I believe they also recommend you do a coolant flush and change your belts. All the other are inspections. I just did my tranny/diff fluids, and just over looked my belts.

Yeah, your manual has the check up intervals (with checklists) and what should be done at each interval. Most of it is check this and that, top off fluids, but there are something’s where if you want it done (like check the steering gears and linkage, alignment, etc..) your going to have to go somewhere...whether or not that place is the STEALERSHIP is up to you.

I hate to spend money at the dealerships, but if it gives you piece of mind then so be it, money well spent.

Also if you have a warranty & haven't done the proper maintanence then you could have voided it.
