Our spark plugs just need to be checked every so often...they are rated to last 100k miles I believe (whether they do or not, who knows, but you should be OK to just check and re-gap if necessary).

I'd like to know what maintenance should be done as well...I'm about to roll 33k on mine.

Here's what I did at 30K changed my oil and filter, cleaned my air filter, changed cabin filter, I still need to change my fuel filter, and check/clean the throttle body. That should be good enough. Everything else should still be lubricated and stuff.

I haven't gotten to my fuel filter or TB yet. The cabin filter you can buy from Advance Auto or Auto Zone.

have an 05 LT,
... going on 80 grand on the odo...
pulled the plugs with cylinders 2 and 4 without any platinum on the tips, in bad need of replacing, assuming it is the only time it was done cause i got her used.

I have also done the air filter, cabin filter, oil change, and fuel filter; oh yeah, and the four rubber thingies and springs going on top of the spark plug.

also put through fresh brake fluid, like three big bottles, overkill
not done, anything to the coolant system, flush and fill, new thermostat
