    Is it fine to leave my truck parked and not ran for a week? I’m not concerned about rodents, but in 60/70 degree weather in the day for 7 days will my fluids be okay?

    No problem in the least, my truck sits for a week or two with no issues at all.

    Well, it all depends on exactly where one has parked one’s conveyance. There are places that cannot be recommended for this procedure.

    I parked my 69 rambler once for 4 1/2 years and it fired right up, no issues driving it home. If you park your taco for 4+ years you might wanna throw on a battery tender. Fluids should be fine.

    As long as it is not parked underwater it will be fine... probably for years.

    You should winterize it. Change all the fluids, add de-icer, check the air pressure, and replace all filters.

    Of course kidding, you will not need de-icer
