How much of this is really necessary?

Do the oil and filter, maybe cabin air filter but I'd do it myself, get the tire checked someplace else. The rest is nothing more than upsell=rip-off! Bad dealer!

Lmao, only 30K no way does the brake fluid need flushing yet. And the coolants good for 100K isn't it? Throttle body's probly fine too. Easy enough to clean yourself if it does need it just like changing the cabin air filter.
And wtf is fuel induction, I'm assuming they meant fuel injection?! Lol they probably dump a bottle of cleaner in the tank and make a $150 profit. Dayum.

The dealer wanted to charge me for pushing the wheel speed sensor wire back into its clip for
a great price of $75.00.

IMO... yes this all needs to be done, but not at 30k miles. The soonest a guy would want to do that would be at 50k, & that would be a little ocd. Depending on how the truck was used I would personally would wait until somewhere between 75 & 100k. The cabin filter might actually need to be replaced depending on where you drive, but that's a simple fix & can be ordered from Amazon.

When the Service Department tells me that the Air Filter is dirty, i know they are going by some chart, because there are no finger prints under the hood

They must have x-ray vision

Better than my local Chevy dealer. You can tell they checked the filter because they put the lid back on wrong and break a clip, cause a check engine light by doing so, then try to charge you to diagnose the check engine light. Went once, never went back.

Had the same happen at last oil change, they had a list of “needed” fixes. Cabin air filter $50, till I pointed out it’s a $20 part and 10 minute job.
Loose exhaust (after market) clamp,$50. New clamp $5 and 10 minute job. Then was the brake caliper service for $350 that was needed till I pointed out that if there was a caliper problem then that would be under warranty (2020) . They then said my calipers were fine!!

brake fluid every 2-3 years if you're using a hygroscopic (water-absorbing) DOT III or IV. You can also tell if the brake pedal starts getting spongy.

During every oil change I use a turkey baster and suck out all of the old brake fluid from the reservoir. It keeps the fluid relatively fresh over the years.

So you are changing out brake fluid every 5000 miles?

How do you dispose of it?
