Leaving Truck Sitting

[stratten.swanner]

Fellas,

I am switching jobs that will required deployments throughout the year. Would it be ok for my truck to be sitting during these times. They will be no longer than 75 days.

Truck info:
05 6.0l fully bulletproofed, injectors cleaned and re-ringed last year. Well taken care of by an aircraft mechanic.

And unhook the batteries negative cables. Should fire right up when you get back.
I park mine for 4-5 months every year.

Been looking threw threads to find one about starting your truck after sitting for a while. This seems to be the closest I can find. So any help would be appreciated. My truck has been sitting for about a year now. Left it with a full tank and took the batteries out. When I go to start it, is there anything besides changing the oil, oil filters and fuel filters I should do?

I wouldn't worry about changing the oil, maybe once you have heat cycled it once or twice. Drain the water from the hfcm. Charge the batteries and crank it over.
