Trip from houston to dallas, one way...what to check replace

[cfan10]

Steering wheel is shaking at high speeds, but I didn't want to replace bushings, ball joints, tie rod ends and sleeves. Until I moved to dallas.
But I am doing an oil change, tune up, changing belts, tires, coolent, hoses, p/s pump, fan clutch, thermostat, oil pan gasket, waterpump gaskets, thermostat gasket, exhaust manifold gaskets. New interstate battery. Possily waterpump.
Is there anything I'm missing here. Transmission also needs front seals, so it has a slight leak, thinking I'll just top it off for the drive. But it will be taken care of in dallas.
Ujoint replaced, trans gasket, filter.

Leaking front Trans seal = broke down. Done it twice I won't let another bad front seal claim another of my transmissions.

Replace water pump and flush the radiator good. check all the tires, check the rear end fluid, repack front wheel bearings, spare tire, basic tool kit, extra fluids, snacks, beer, etc.

Not sure if you are replacing or just checking air in the tires, but if you aren't replacing them or they are not new, get them balanced. Could help reduce the shaking a little.

I'd check my speed on the trip. Loose front ends concern me. Take it easy.

I'm in Austin.

as long as it's been properly maintain she will make it. DON'T FORGET YOUR BRAKES! I forgot to check them on a 1400mile trip ended up shattering the shoes and creating much more of a problem. other than that a maintained truck will do well
