Maintainance while sitting

Lost license for 90 days, what should I do to truck in the downtime?

Worth starting every day and letting get warm, or don't bother?

Fuel tank is down to ~10gallons

It's not really worth starting daily, is she sitting in tip top shape? What's the scoop?

 

[lts1ow]

Yea she is in great condition, oil changed needed in 1500 and prob gonna change ATF as well at that point.

Will be detuning it in hopes that my rents may drive it around every once in a while.

I am gonna throw some fuel additive in the tank and hope for the best.

Can't drive short of the 25ft up and down the driveway.

My truck sat for approx. 8 months. All I did was start it up and take it for a good run every 2-3 weeks (or get someone else to drive it for you, if it was me I would go with them lol). I also made sure the fuel tank was always full and had some additive in it. And it looks like my truck is going to be living like this for another 6-7 months.

So should I have the truck topped off this weekend and dump a lot of additive in it?

 

[coldLBZ]

Yep, I would top it off. You don't have to dump a ton of additive in it, just more or less what's recommended.
