36,000 fast approaching-maintainance?

So I have a couple of months until I reach the end of my 36,000 maintainance warranty. For all of you that have gone before me, what should/could I have I have the dealer do before the warranty is over?
I noticed that I have whitish sludge at the bottom of the brownish coolant. Are they still replacing/flushing brown coolant?
I heard about splitting some fuse thing?
Can I ask for brakes to be done?

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. I have a early 2004 MC.

I would find a reason to have your car in... have things checked out... I'm at 65k now... I tried to get them to do my brakes before warranty ran out, but they wouldn't bite... I eventually had the pads and rotors done on my own dime... other than that, no other expense besides oil changes...

God speed.

I would really like for the brakes to be looked at and done on their dime but not sure how to make that work. I don't know if I am overlooking anything else either.

The 36K mile free scheduled maintenance is just that, free SCHEDULED maintenance. If it is not on the schedule, the dealer is not going to do it. There is an "inspection I" that is covered. I think "inspection II" comes at around 40K miles, depending on your driving conditions, so that will not be covered (working from memory so may be in error). Remember you are still under warranty until 50K miles, so any warrantable repairs will still be covered regardless of the fact that your free scheduled maintenance agreement has expired..
