Storage

[gav'spurplez]

for those of you who park your cars over winter, what stpes do you take in order to ready the car ??



i am going to be doing an oil change, trans fluid change, and a diff fluid change this saturday. so what about the battery ?? i have read about trickle chargers, does anyone have any specific info on them ??



the car may be driven during the winter months, around my area, in the development, just to start it up and such, but it will go right back in the garage and right back under the cover,



better to leave it be or start it up ?? what about moisture inside the vehicle, a friend of mine has a bucket with a top for such a situation.



what about gas addiditve ??

Put the car on jackstands, this way your suspension wont have a memory come spring. Drain all fuel from the car or at least get a fuel stabalizer. When your car isnt being used, place something over your exhaust, this will stop the rodents from making it there new home.



Good luck,

jackstands may not be an option, but i might try to work that out.



i have heard about having little gas. a friend of mine has these "dollies" that he has each of the 4 wheels on, they have a curve in them, i guess to shape to the tire,

those might be better for me.



also, i hope i do not have any rodents in my garage, but might keep out insects, that have madetheir way in
