Posted: Mon Sep 26, 2016 3:04 pm Post subject: Long term storage.
So I recently found out I'm having to go overseas for at least two years for my job. Of course I'll need to place the M38 in "storage". Anyway as I get ready to do that just wanted to see what I should do to get her ready for a long sleep. She'll be in a climate controlled garage while I'm away and I plan to put her up on jack stands.
Looking at some other posts seen these items...anything else I should do?
-Oil Change / Trans Fluids and other fluids
-Drain fuel/blow out fuel lines
-Remove batteries
-Fog engine
-Plug Exhaust Pipe / Cover Intake
-Moth Balls or Drier Sheets
Thanks in advance... _________________ Paul

Draining the fuel is a good idea but flood the fuel pump and carb with a preservative oil. Don't leave them bone dry.
Disconnect batteries and remove them. Place them on acid proof pads and connect battery maintainers to them. Not trickle chargers, use maintainers. _________________ Wes K

Up on jack stands to protect the tires, block between the frame and the axles to preserve the springs? _________________ M38 CDN 52-30105
