what am I missing?
I have a 2001 C5 w/ 36k miles. Recent preventative maintenance included new battery, spark plugs and wires, radiator hoses, and serpentine belts. Am I missing anything? (Of course I do fluid changes at regular intervals).
I'd hate to miss something stupid because it usually fails at the worst time. (In rain, on backroad, no one in sight for miles, no cell phone reception...You get it.)
Thanks!
Ed

It wouldn't hurt to inspect your air cleaner situation, along with some throttle body cleaner, and a little Sea Foam in the gas tank never hurt. 
Oh yeah, check those ground plug points in the engine bay while you're in there. They bit me in the azz minutes before I was to leave for Corvettes on the Boardwalk last year!

Did you change the coolant when you did the fluids? Just curious! When I bought my 2000 it looked like the coolant had never been flushed.
Did you clean out the bladders that make up the drainage system? One of mine was completely filled with gunk. Keeping those clear will prevent water from leaking into the cabin. You can find pictures and instructions on the board.
Otherwise, I'm stumped. There's nothing left you to do but enjoy the car!
