Yes, I dropped a few bucks on it.

I must have had twenty bucks taken out of there in the past six years, ya know. Don't sound like much, but it adds up, ya know.

CDR valve is probably pushing the GM recommended replacement schedule. New manufacture ones are available on ebay and other places.

I would advise checking the u-joints, and make sure your batteries are fully charged. Weak batteries can deprive your glow plugs of needed power. Is your fan clutch in good shape? Do you see any seepage from the water pump? Is the power steering pump in good shape? Have you checked the rear axle shaft seals? Are your windshield wiper arms still working well?

Check that balancer.
Keep doing what your doing.
Sounds like you have it handled.

Sounds like you have done pretty good on your own,I would add oil press.gauge and do a compression check,maybe trans. temp gauge.And you should show some picts of rack and offroad light set-up. Keep up the good work. My 1009 approaching 95k,bought it with 64k,getting ready to replace IP soon.Also if you havnt done the headlight wireing harness upgrade you should.And since you are a Hella type of guy look at Hellas#HLA-003427291,they are awesome and take a HB2 bulb.So no more sealed beam headlights.I have them in 2 of my vehicles,work great.
