Storing options
 
So pretty soon I will be deploying for well over six months and I could use some advice on how best to store the truck. My wife tells me she's going to start it up once a week, but I know better than that. My options now are park it behind the house in the yard or I thought about jacking it up and putting it up on jack stands to keep the weight off the tires.

fill the tank, drop in some fuel stabilizer, change the oil, spray some Wynns fogger in the cyclinders, disconnect or trickle charge the battery, cover it & hope for the best (rodents). if i store a truck for a long time i too jack it up, but just enough to take the weight off, but not let the susp. hang

Your best bet would be indoor storage.

I guess it depends on your climate too,I just got my 80 K20 running that was sitting since last October.it was sitting in an open front shed & wintered quite well! This isn't the ideal way to store a truck,just sayin.If it can be started every couple months it would keep seals from drying out too...
