Storage while deployed

[BigRed02]

Only leaving for 7mos starting Jan. Read another thread about flushing all fluids half way through, then flush again when I return. Any more comments, or not that necessary to go through all that?

Left mine for almost 7mo in long term on base. Just disconnect the batteries and it will be fine.

Mine was parked for three years while recovering from a BAD accident (explosion), and yes the dually is fine.

Now I had to drop the tank, clean it out replace the fuel sending unit in the tank, change fluids (oil, rad., tranny, and diffs) , oh and two new batteries. Needed the neglected maint.. I also had to replace the cam sensor since it was off line for the recall.

When we did a reading on the computer to find any problems it read (0) issues??? Never seen a clean slate before? But thats what I had to do, and it was 36 months. I should have started it more often?

Anyways thats my .02 worth.

Either drain the tank or add some fuel stabilzer to the fuel and run it through the engine,then I would rain the fuel bowl, disconnect the batteries and have a safe trip!!

and maybe some extra air in the tires, may prevent flat spots and dry cracking.

i'm leaving for some training in Jan and will have to do the same.

Be safe

might try nitrogen in the tires

[NCHornet]

I wouldn't worry about the tires for 7 months, if it was longer I would recommend putting the truck on jacks and removing the tires, or at least getting them off the ground.
