    Thanks for all the help with my truck. I have been sitting for over 3 months. I don't know that about mechanical or electrical parts on my truck. Can't afford to take it to a shop so been reading and learning. Finally got all my frustrations and anger out on my truck. Cleaned battery cables and sprayed electric part's cleaner on every socket I could reach. Wiggle and jiggled wire's. Put cables back on and said a prayer. It started on the first try. Was having crank no start problem. No fuel no spark. New fuel filter and pump oh new battery. Thanks guys. Clean up cause in the long run it's going to be expensive if you don't.

    Welcome aboard!

    And if you live in a rust-prone area, better read up on rustproofing and winter maintenance.

    Pro tip: Never leave any vehicle sitting for more than a month. Otherwise you will deal with flat spots on the tires. I had to replace a set of high-performance Michelin Pilot Sport tires with less than 5k miles because I let the car sit for too long. It was a very expensive lesson learned.
