What do you guys do for general maintenance besides oil changes? what about draining water from fuel filters and stuff like that, is there anything else that falls under basic maint for a diesel? any input would be nice, thanks..

Well I have had my truck for over a year now and still haven't drained my water separator. But the light hasn't come on for it yet. I should do it soon anyway. I'd make sure you pump in some nice fresh grease into all your zerk fittings. I use marine grease, I just think it's better.

Change the fuel filter every 10K to 15K and check the air filter.
