    Coming out of storage- tips needed

    After being in storage for about 6 full months, I will be taking out my M-tech out. I had someone start her up for the first 2 months ( 2x per month) but then the battery died. :major frustration:

    What all should I have done & checked? Allready plan on doing an oil chance which I think should be pretty standard..


    thnx

            I would add some Techron to the fuel, top it off with some gas, change the fuel filter after you get the tank low. Check hoses, belts, radiator fluid (maybe flush if it's been a few years), inspect air filter (a good place for a mouse nest), check tranny, rear diff., and possibly replace the brake fluid if it's a couple of years old.
