Hello,

I have stored an '03 Durango SLT in the outdoors. It has been a week thus far and could be there for another week. Weather's been sunny & rain. What should I do to keep it in good condition in the meantime and/or when I pick it up?

Thanks :-)

 

I dont think the truck sitting outside for a week should really need anything done to keep it in good condition.

 

I have actually decided to store it indoors in the summer for a few months. Any tips will be appreciated (ex. Disconnect battery; don't have full tank of fuel etc) thanks!

 

If your going to let it sit for a few months and there is electric in your storing area, a battery maintainer might be something to think about. I don't drive mine very often and when my battery died in January, i added one to my truck. If you like, i can get you some pics of what i did.

Also, i would not keep a full tank of fuel in it... i would leave yourself enough fuel in it to get you safely to a fuel station. That way on the off chance the fuel would go stale then you won't be out a whole lot of $$ and you won't have to figure out how your gonna drain a full tank.

HTH

 

Ok i know some of you are gonna be curious so i decided to go ahead and snap some pics...

 

I like the set up, looks classy.

 

The ethanol in this gas-ethanol blend crap likes to settle over time and is very corrosive to the fuel system, so you should get some of that fuel stabilizer stuff to put in the tank.
