From: studio on 18 Sep 2009 14:29 Personally, I'd just put a new battery in, put a couple bottles of good fuel injector cleaner along with 1 bottle of octane booster and 1 bottle of methanol to remove any water that may have condensed in the gas tank, then fill up with premium gas. Air up the tires and take it to the tire shop for new ones, as if the tires went flat and sat for awhile, they're likely to have developed flat spots in them. I'd also change the oil and transmission fluid just to be on the safe side, and check all the belts and hoses for dry rot, wear and tension.
From: Stuart McGraw on 20 Sep 2009 11:48 Thanks everyone for the advice. I replaced the battery and the truck started and seemed to run fine. I plan to replace the tires, and will keep the advice about cleaning the fuel system in mind for the future should it turn out to be needed but I have my fingers crossed.
