my old 2012 1500 Tradesman just past 100000. All I’ve done is brakes and regular oil changes. Never had an issue. What do you guys recommend for a 100000 mile truck.

How has maintenance been over that first 100k?
If kept up on as should have been "100,000miles" should be no bigger deal then, say, 30,000 was.
If it's been neglected then, well you have some catching up to do

Brake fluid if you meant only pads , Driveline/ transfercase, coolant , trans fluid , air filters -- preventative maintenance - change the fluids they all break down just like engine oil and need to be replaced at regular intervals (not same intervals as engine oil). When the fluids break down and fail - component failure and repairs follow.
