Just as a heads up, my truck rolled over 30k...
Nissan recommends the following at 30,000 miles (along with normal oil change & air filter) :
-Belt R&R
-Coolant change / flush (if necessary)
-Front Diff & Rear Diff fluid change
-Transf. Case fluid change
-Transmission fluid & filter change
-Fuel filter R&R
-In-cabin air filter R&R
-Rad. Cap R&R
-Lube locks/latches/hinges/etc.

I'm about to get into it -- probably do it Monday.

Not too bad.   Oil and trans were pretty straightforward.   Getting the fluid out of the trans case, front & rear diffs was easy.   Getting it back in was tight... I don't think Nissan designed the truck with the standard size gear oil bottle in mind, but I took care of it with a length of hose.

Parts store lists the fuel filter as non-serviceable; service manual puts it as part of the in tank stuff.  I didn't get into this yet.  Anybody done it?

The fuel filter is NOT a normal service item. Not to mention the need for a special tool to remove the lock ring. See attachment.

NOTE: The Fuel Filter for this vehicle is a "Maintenance-Free item", and does not require routine service.

NOTE: Fuel will be spilled when removing the fuel level sensor, fuel filter, and fuel pump assembly for the fuel level is above the fuel level sensor, fuel filter, and fuel pump assembly fuel tank opening.
    • As a guide, the fuel level reaches the fuel gauge position as shown, or less, when approximately 15 l (4 US gal, 3 1/4 Imp gal) of fuel are drained from the fuel tank.
    • If the fuel pump does not operate, use the following procedure to drain the fuel to the specified level.
  1. Insert a suitable hose of less than 15 mm (0.59 in) diameter into the fuel filler pipe through the fuel filler opening to drain the fuel from fuel filler pipe.
  2. Remove the fuel filler pipe shield.
  3. Disconnect the fuel filler hose from the fuel filler pipe.
  4. Insert a suitable hose into the fuel tank through the fuel filler hose to drain the fuel from the fuel tank.

Coolant is 4 years or 60,000 miles whichever comes first, then every 30,000. I prefer to change it every 30,000!!!!
