Letting Truck Sit
#17
I'm really surprised that no one has mentioned NOT parking it on grass (other then for rodents). Plants release water via evapotranspiration, this will promote rust.
I store my truck outside every winter and have never had the breaks seize. I only filled & stabilized my fuel, and put a trickle charger on it for 1 day, once a month.
BTW, a friend of mine that works at a honda shop says that battery tenders are a bad idea, he says that even though they are designed to prevent overcharging, they will engage too soon & to often and eventually ruin a battery.
