Fan and AC belts, fuel filters, 2 gallons of coolant, 2 gallons of 15W40, gallon can of diesel for priming new filters.

Pre-trip (from memory): oil, coolant, and power steering fluid level. Inspect for any new leaks or any abrupt change in any levels. Shake fan to check for bearing wear, peek at exposed portion of air filter for damage (always note air filter gauge position). Energize ignition and wait to hear 6 ABS "pops." Once started, note any changes in usual readings or anything out of spec.

He also mentioned keeping a close eye on the tires for any irregular wear. Insisted that 100psi in each tire would be the best pressure to run.
