70k maintenance?

So I'm at ~67k miles, and soon to cross 70k. What all maintenance items need to be looked at/replaced? The timing belt was changed around 10k miles ago. Other than that has only been as-needed maintenance and regular oil-change type stuff. Water pump? Spark plugs? Anything else?

I just got through changing the transmission fluid (drain and fill, then drain and fill again a couple weeks later, need to do another one next weekend too) and when I did that I changed the front and rear diff fluid too, because I didn't know when those had been done. The rear diff fluid looked nice and clear and didn't even smell that much. The front diff and trans fluid were black and nasty and smelled awful. What are they normally like? Also, how often should the front and rear diff fluid be changed from now on?

Re: 70k maintenance?

Water pump? No. Spark Plugs? Maybe. Also accessory belts, coolant, maybe radiator hoses, unless you know these have been recently changed. I'd just inspect carefully and replace as needed.

Transmission fluid should be the color of cranberry juice; diff lube colorless to light brown. I think the owner's manual spec for changing the latter is every 30,000 mi.

Re: 70k maintenance?

A major maintenance interval is at 60K miles, so it actually depends what was done at that mileage. If it was not done, then you should go down the 60K recommended items and at least evaluate each.

If you don't have a complete Owner's Manual refer to the attached file for the recommended schedules.
