Change the oil on time or early.
Add good temp guages even if already installed. Oil Temp, Trans temp, EGT if turbo charged, real coolant temp guage.
My factory guages are idiot indicators, They only move when the temps get outside preset limits.

I have done a coolant flush on my truck and used a coolant conditioner from a company called MOC CHEMICAL, and it droped my coolant temp 5-10 degree's and that running down I-90 @70-75mph. they also make tranny flush kit's and other products along that line. they also make evap box cleaner that i have tryed which worked pretty good aswell. you could probably find this stuff at a dealer or at good independent shop.
other then that i keep the oil changed and the chasse greased and fix what needs to be fixed
one other thing that i would suggest is if your vehicle is still under any kind of factory warranty. take it to the dealer for oil changes and other general maintance they might notice a recall and or something that can be fix under warranty, and save you a headach and money later.
Run an engine oil and trans oil sample (pull samples at operating temperatures). Mail in for analysis report. First report is your baseline (assuming all is good). Recommended intervals for future samples would be dependent upon type of use (ie. normal/servere). I use Wagner and purchase the kits from them. Reports provide incite to internal trouble looming on the horizon, allowing one time to consider investing $ or bailing out before it's too late. The report (mailed or faxed) is detailed and very useful in my view.
Upgrades; Cognitio leveling kit (2") for Duramax with Bilstein 5100 series shocks.
