Letting your truck sit...how long is too long?

Get a beagle, they take care of all that for you, mine does

 

i have 2 hounds too! so cute! my other car is in storage in the country, and i know they have mice so i worry about it

 

What hounds, that's my beagle other is my Bassett

 

I have 2 Black and Tan coonhounds

 

Your house has a FoMoCo decoration?

 

Old house, ex's sign. He buys a new Shelby every year

 

Dang.

You were definitely going to be the coolest female I've ever seen.

Since it isn't yours, you're only probably the coolest.

 

If that's your requirement you may want to look into getting higher standards. But I'll still take the title

 

Don't really have a requirements list.

Just seems like you do more things with one life than anybody else I've ever stumbled on. Pretty entertaining.

 

Not having dependants helps. I do have a 70" Valentino Rossi canvas in my bedroom though, it's a tiny bit cooler than the Ford sign

 

Not even pretending I'm fancy enough to know who that is. But I know art is expensive and 70 inches of it is a considerable expense.

You do you, she-bro.

 

Rossi aka Greatest motorcycle racer of all time aka motorcycle god aka my sexless lover

 

Half a cup of Seafoam in the gas tank before you leave.
Good to add this occasionally regardless of usage.

 

Update: fired her up after 3 weeks sitting and she turned over like it had only been a day. Drove around for a while just to get the temperature up. No issues whatsoever

Side note: spent 3 weeks traveling around Spain and saw quite a few of these...

 

I change the oil and filter, air up the tires and put a good coat of wax on mine and it sits outside in a corner for 6 months of winter in all temperature and weather conditions. Never an issue. I bought a beater Subaru to drive on the salt and snow covered Vermont roads in the winter. The Frame and under carriage on my 2015 Tacoma was coated when new with a local waxy type under coating and then over laid with Amsoil MP HD Metal protector and it still looks brand new underneath. Not a speck of rust anywhere.

 

My take on "what's too long for a vehicle to sit?" is around 4 months, and not on a regular basis. That's just my own comfort zone. I let the car sit for 3 weeks at a time pretty regularly, but any longer than that I will run it for 10-15 minutes and drive it if conditions allow. Modern pump gas will stay good for at least 3 months and I agree with Ranger about the occasional use of a fuel stabilizer... if not for stabilizing fuel over time, it's also got cleaning agents and water removers. One time I had the same tank of gas in the car for 7 months and you'd never know the difference by how it ran. But I keep my vehicles garaged so that may make a difference regarding water and humidity/moisture in the fuel compared to vehicles that live outside 365 days a year.

Also for storage you can overinflate the tires to help avoid flat spots but don't go above the max pressure printed on the sidewall and be sure to air them back down before driving.

I have heard many times that dryer sheets do repel insects and rodents. No proof that it is true. Couldn't hurt I guess, at least your truck will have a spring-fresh smell.

 

We have ethanol gas by me so I always use fuel stabilizer for ethanol gas when I'm putting toys away

 

I'd prob disconnect the battery but other than that I dont see any probs. I left mine almost 3 months. Only thing wrong was birds crapped all over it and it did eat the clear coat in some spots but other than that I had no issues.

 

There's a weird looking cat in between those two beautiful hounds.
