Default Driving Durango after two months parked

Hello,

I'd like to know what to check/do when driving a Durango after two months of having it parked in the outdoors. I was away and will be driving it soon. I stored it at the end of summer and now it's the fall so I don't know what can happen to it. Thx in advance

Nothing.

I don't drive mine. I'm up to 80 miles driven in the last 3 months. And it's 8 miles one way to work

It'll be fine. Just ride the brakes a little at higher speeds (35+) to burn off the rust on the rotors and you're golden.

^now that's just stupid. You are to winterize it at least but for long term storage you're to drain all fluids and leave as minimal fuel as possible, bleed the fuel lines, disconnect battery, that routine. Then change oil before start up, add fuel stabilizer and a couple gallons.

But each to their own.

The amount or should i say lack of dust on a stored vehicle is not indiction to the corrosion effects inside the motor.
