packjh Posted August 29, 2006 Report Share Posted August 29, 2006 I might be buying a cheap beater and driving it all winter to save the wear and tear on the truck. I was wandering if you guys had some advice since ive never stored a vehicle before. This would last probably from late oct..early nov to possibly early april thanx for the help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

misterp Posted August 30, 2006 Report Share Posted August 30, 2006 A 15-minute drive every couple weeks is a good idea to keep the mechanicals tip-top, then all you have to worry about is the tires, body, & interior. Make sure your occasional drives are long enough to bring the fluids to full operating temperature (minimum 15-mins). Mr. P. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevebbb Posted August 30, 2006 Report Share Posted August 30, 2006 For what it's worth, I never drive mine all winter and I just park it in the fall and start driving in the spring. About all I ever do is put on a battery tender. I do have a heated garage though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
