Im about to take my truck in for a check up before my 36,000 mile warranty expires. Anything I should tell them specifically to look at or trouble areas?

I have a front coil over leaking and my front hubs or whatever you call that vac operated locking mechanisms seem sketchy at times, having issues locking or unlocking, but I think thats just how they are going to work.

Thanks for your help. This forum helped me find my truck when I was looking.

Yes, tell them everything! Do a thorough walk around of your truck and make a list of any fluid leaks (even if very very small). Note any electrical hiccups you have ever experienced even if they are no longer on going. Leaking power steering is common. The dealership is not technically allowed to 'seek' out warranty work, it has to be a customer complaint. You can save hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars by making a big list and having components replaced before your warranty expires.

What he^^^ said. Leaking shocks, leaking rear differential cover, leaking power steering, whatever. Go through the truck with a fine tooth comb and if you see anything that gives you pause, mention to them to check it out and make sure they do.

Thought about getting an ESP?
If you are I would suggest doing it before you hit the 36 to avoid the used vehicle mark up. For the price of semi-common problems like a blend door actuator I would take the gamble on it and get it. Unless you have no intention on keeping it very long.
