some thoughts ...
- replace the pulleys as well (all three if you used the long belt)
- Carry a spare DIC.
- I also carry a spare serp belt and pulleys (I carry the old as spares, just in case I get stuck in the middle of no where, or Mississippi)
- techron concentrate every now and then is good. (I do every other oil change other might have a better recommendation on frequency)
- I do a drain and fill of the auto trans fluid every other oil change.
- clean and lube the TB every now and then is a good idea too.
- an exhaust upgrade (simmons seems popular ... I have Remus) is good when yours rusts out.
- seems like you can expect to replace the coolant bypass valve soon ... I carry epoxy to make the repair if it blows while out of town.
- yea snow tires are probably a good idea for you northerners!
