Next maintenance?
I am completing year 5 ownership of my 2000 c5 with 54k miles. During that time I have done all fluids, tires and battery. I am expecting to do brakes sometime next year. Wondering about other maintenance items such as serpentine belt etc. I see little in the maintenence schedule. My car has been incredibly reliable.

I would make sure the radiator and condenser are clear of debris, best to pull the rad. and flush with water. get it up in the air and do a real good inspection of everything. you didn't say manual or auto, if manual flush the clutch fluid. (ranger method).

I would agree that the hoses and belts should be carefully inspected and replaced as required. Might want to consider the fuel filter also.

belts and hosesAlso check the sway bar end links and bushings. If they are the original plastic end links, they are probably shot and should be replaced with the oem metal end links.
Make sure that the udders are free of debri.
