70k maintenance

My 2011 is reaching 70k miles... has been great with no outstanding issues. Regular oil changes every 3-5k miles and that's about it. Besides GM's generic maintenance plan, anything I should check for? If anyone can chime in on the items below as well:

- Brakes are requiring more force (so I'm thinking great time for brembo upgrade)
- Rear diff fluid
- Brake fluid
- Coolant
- Timing chain
- Spark plugs
- Any suspension?

What timing belt? It's a chain.

Diff fluid? Not if it's an automatic with an open diff.

None of the others are required, but changing the coolant and brake fluid are good prevention.

I change the differential fluid in all my vehicles every other oil change. It's cheap , easy, and I've never had a differential problem including a leaking seal.. If you haven't changed the coolant, it's over due.

A manual intake valve cleaning will amaze you with the results, and NOT an engine running seafoam or similar. Search here for dyno sheets and before and after results.
