Storing my truck for 6 months - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

In a few weeks I will be leaving for a deployment. I recently ordered the LMC 38-8820 4 layer cover for the truck.

It will be stored on base outdoors (which is obviously gated and secured), with no trees to worry about which is a huge plus.

I plan to give it one good final wash before covering it.

Should I leave the windows cracked open? Should I disconnect the battery? How much fuel should I leave in the tank? Will be back around November time so atleast it will be out of the elements of the harsh winter.

I won't be able to jack it up to keep weight off the tires so should I air them up to max to prevent flat spots?

Any other tips greatly appreciated!
