What should I do? Maintenance Question

[truckman1974]

Ok, without getting crazy with it, I need your advice/input (I don't want to sink a lot of money into it...just the essentials). I am currently deployed to West Africa (as some of you know). I am going home for some R&R leave this week and my truck has been sitting for about 7 months. Other than getting cranked every other weekend and driven around the block a few times to keep stuff cycled, that's about it.

Is there anything I should do, maintenance wise, before I put some miles on it? It had a fresh oil change and filled with diesel before it started sitting. I'm sure I will need to top off the fuel and throw some Diesel Kleen in it. It's been getting washed and taken care of on the outside I just want to make sure I'm taking care of it on the inside.

It has 36k miles on it....

Thanks for the input....



(Happy Memorial Day. Please take a moment to remember those who have paid the ultimate price in the name of freedom! My friends and fellow brothers and sisters in arms....I remember you!)

Take it out and get it up to operating temps. I'd drive it a bit harder than you normally do.

I plan on taking a road trip up to Tennessee so I should be able to blow out anything that may have been trying to build up. SO looking forward to it!
