15K mile service

I like to do all my service on my truck myself. I am getting ready to do my 15K mile service. These are my plans, should I be doing anything else?

1. Inspection truck (brakes, belts, exhaust, etc.)
2. Clean Air filter (Scotty 5)
3. New oil and oil filter 15w-40 Rotella, strata-pour filter
4. Change fuel filter
5. Change transfer case fluid - 4+/- Quarts ATF+4
6. Change front and rear diff. fluids (75W-90), going to remove diff. and re-use seals, clean insides of housings, re torque bolts to 30 ft. lbs.
7. Grease front drive line joint.
8. Rotate tires

Should I be adding anything to the list that I might not be thinking about? What about changing the fluid in the manual trans.? I have heard it is not neccessary, unless desired to to difficult shifting.

Any input would be greatly appreciated! Just want to make sure that I have everything covered in one evening.

do the manual transmission if you have the nv5600 and use a good synthetic mtf fluid like amsoil or redline.

Do a search on the torque spec. There was a thread that said 30 was too high. It was a mis-print in the book. It's suppossed to be between 18-22,,,can't remember.
