    Once a month should be enough. You do not want to let the battery go dead, as that will shorten its life. Let it run until it reaches normal temperature.

    i would not wait a month with ethanol gas in the tank. you can if you put something like stabil in the gas to treat it. you can find places that sale no ethanol gas. if you can find it fill the truck up with no ethanol gas. it will be better if you are gonna let it sit for awhile. if using ethanol gas be sure to treat it with stabil or something similar. ethanol gas can go bad in a month or two if not treated.

    yeah that's fine. you don't want to leave ethanol gas in the tank for months and months though unless you put stabil in it. even if you are cranking it. the gas sits in the tank and goes bad. treat it and it will be ok for a year.
