Thread: puting the truck up.. what should I do to the motor??

either drain the coolant out of the block and radiatior or just make sure there is plenty of anti freeze, drain the gas out of the tank and the carb bowls or run it down to almost empty and add some Sta-bil, you can get it at the parts store, it keeps your gas from turning into varnish. i personally would drain all the gas and make sure there is none in the carb to keep everything clean. unless you plan on starting it up and letting it run every few days then just ad some of the sta-bil to it, if it was mine i would be running it every few days, its god for it to run every so often

Honestly? I don't do a thing... I fill up the tank before I park it and simply start it up a couple of times during storage. I let it warm up real good (20 minutes or so) and shut her off. I have never done anything special to any of the show cars I have had and have never had a problem with any of them when getting them out of storage... Plain and simple... I just put my truck away last weekend and, if I wanted to get it out and drive it on a nice day, I could.
