I have a few questions about my truck..

As some of you know, my Burb had been sitting for almost 3 years in the body shop, it was started semi often and ran, but not driven. That being said, I havent really "worked" on my truck in that 3 years. ~first Q.~ Can the seals rot or dry from just sitting? Ive got leaks that werent leaking before.

I know this was an issue before too, ~second Q~ Why does my truck over heat so easily? I have the big beefy radiator, and 2 electric fans, also, I suppose I should change out the thermostat, "just because"? Im afraid to take it anywhere for getting stuck in traffic for even 5 minits, it get so hot so fast.

~Third Q.~ My windshield wipers, they move SO SOOOO slow, theres no way they would be useful even in light rain, I know they were never like a highspeed new truck, but sheesh... What can I do?

~4th Q.~ How the heck do I make my windows leak proof? If it rains, water gets inside, I find it on the inside of my doors. What can I do?

Also, what other tips can yall give me to change, do , fix , replace etc... just BECAUSE my truck has been sitting so long?

Sorry for the long winded post, thanks for your time!!
