Sign In My 2001 GMC sierra v8 has been stored/sitting for over a year (not started at all). Is there anything I should/can do before starting or ever to help/avoid dried/bad or leaky seals or any other problem that may be from sitting to long??? Help! chickenhouse Enthusiast Jan 9, 2010, 8:27 PM Post #2 of 3 (2987 views) Re: 2001 GMC sierra been sitting for over a year... Sign In IMO, short of pulling the engine and re-sealing it with all new gaskets and such, no, there's not a whole lot you need to do. Do an oil & filter change, fuel filter, get the acorns out of the air cleaner, check the coolant & the belts & hoses. Might be a real good time to change the belts & hoses. Belts have been stopped in one spot for over a year & the coolant has not moved either- still setting in the same low spot of the hoses. Not big on additives, just regular maintainence with the same viscosity oil it is used to. Should be o k.

Sign In Check your brakes make sure you dont have any wheels locked up from rust that formed and stuck locked tight the pads up to the rotors it would also be a very good idea to drain the gas out of the tank and fill it with fresh new gas so you dont hurt or possibly foul up the injectores   Email This Post   Automotive Repair     Auto Body Repair and Refinishing     Heating or AC Issues     Electrical and Wiring     Brake Systems     Car Stereo Repair Advice     General Discussions     Car Making Funny Noises     Engine Fault Codes     Engine Troubles     Exhaust Systems     Steering and Suspension     Transmission Troubles     Tricks of the Trade Automotive World     General Discussions     Antique Car Talk     Car Shows and Events     The Bargin Bin     Motor Vehicle Inspection     Car Care Tips     Traffic Tickets     Gasoline, Motor Oils, Concept Cars and Engines     Auto Insurance, Financing, Leases, Warranties Truck Repair     General Discussions     Truck Engine Repair     Truck Suspension Repair Motorcycle Repair     General Discussions     Motorcycle Engine Repair CarJunky     Open Posting     Board FAQ's     New Board Suggestions
