This thing has been sitting for about 4 years because it spewed tranny oil when started. So what do you suggest I do to get the old girl back on the road, with out doing any further damage to it sitting so long? Mace
are you saying it spewed tranny fluid
BECAUSE it's been sitting for 4 years? like all car basics, the best thing to do is make sure to run all new fluids in the engine, tranny, differential(s), cooling, brake, etc.
a bottle of seafoam in the tank with some higher octane gas won't hurt, and will clean the CRAP out of the fuel system. Same with the oil (only pour about a third of the bottle in the crankcase) use a QUALITY oil filter like a Wix filter. Change fuel filter and air as well. Spark plugs, and wires should be in the works as well.
don't skimp on quality. get stuff with lifetime warranty on it. especially if you intend to keep the truck for any given amount of time. I recommend using Valvoline oil. ( i am philosophically opposed to using Castrol. it's a BP product)
