Good evening guys.

Started a side project tonight.

Before and after about 2 hours. Hardest part was removing the mangled bumper.

You going to fix it or part it out? Frame looks bent and lower right a arm. A mess

Good morning Jim and the rest of the crew!

Thirsty Thursday is here so grab a cold beverage and batten down the hatches if live near the strike zone of Matthew. My brothers are riding it out I guess. Praying nobody gets hurt!

I parked my dually last winter. I topped off the diesel with #1 mainly because it wasn't going to be in a heated shed. That is the only thing special I did. Never jacked it up up or nothing. I did start it couple times throughout the winter. Maybe three times total. I would suggest to see if you can have a neighbor come over and start it once in a while but if not I would not worry about it. You won't have any issues especially sitting in a heated garage. It's not like you are parking it for years. Only for a few months. Trucks like that sit on dealer lots longer then that. Haha

Thanks Troy...
I also sent an email to the Service Manager at my dealership to get his take on it...
They will end up with this truck in the spring most likely anyway...

I bought my '08 F250 brand-new in April of '09. Found out after the fact that it had a complete engine replacement a few months before I got it. They didn't disclose this to me when I bough it, so after seeing the OASIS report I went back to the service department to ask about it. Apparently had a sticking valve after sitting so long on the lot without being started.

This was a 6.4L engine, which of course is completely different than a 6.7L. I think you'll be fine parking it for six months, but having someone start it every couple of months wouldn't hurt.

Morning all. The storm isn't gonna fully make it to us now.

No shutters here Cory. Only on the water, even then it is 50/50.

Sounds like a real fluke there.
