Hey Guys

the bad news:
i have neglected my truck a bit and it has been parked for about a year, and i havent had the decency to crank it over in that time.

the good news:
i'm going to light er' up in the next couple days.

i was thinking i would pull the batteries and put a trickle charge on em.

once those are juiced up i will pull the primary lead from the distributor cap and crank er' for a few 20 second cycles to get some oil back up top.

is this good enough procedure or should i be doing more?
