I've read the Owner's Manual for my Ford F-350 DRW on the subject of Storage, but soliciting additional information from the knowledgeable folks here on the forum. (I know there are dedicated Ford forums...but I don't "know" those individuals and spend most of my time here, so thanks in advance for your consideration.)
Due to a family situation and a school I'm attending that starts in September, my truck will likely sit unused (started early July) through the end of November. I'll have one opportunity to prep it in the coming weeks.
Current status of the truck is it has new oil and filter, new fuel filters, cleaned/waxed and protected with a heavy duty cover.
The manual says to run every 30 days--that won't be possible.
Charge and disconnect the batteries?
Add diesel additive? (A tech mentioned something about "algae" growing up in the fuel? Is that true?)
Leery about lifting the tires off the ground--it is hurricane season on the gulf coast. (One of the reasons I'm going back to the house is to install the hurricane shutters.)
Any other thoughts/recommendations?
