Put the battery on charge. Hasn't run since shortly after AW last year, lets see if she'll run tomorrow.

Lol, I actually bought a solar panel that will trickle charge my battery to keep it topped up. I haven't had the chance to set it all up yet, but that's the plan.

I was in the same boat, hadn't driven in about 2 months, got cold, battery was dead.

After charging it, she started up fine though.

Having a second car will do that eh?

Never got to start it... Too busy.

I picked up one of those chargers they have for boats, or rv's or race cars that came with a couple different ends. I use the cigarette lighter one. The outlet in the hatch is live all the time, just ran extension cord right into the hatch, closed the door and leave it plugged in all the time. It monitors and trickle charges when required.

Ya, the truck is officially a weekend only vehicle now. Sits in the garage most of the time now. Only put about 3,000km on it last year.

Replaced seized caliper with a (reman) FREE one... Only problem is, its the wrong side. No-one had the right one in stock, would have had to wait. Nothing some "Innovation" won't fix ;-)

Put the caliper on the wrong side of the truck and the bleeder screw will be on the bottom, not the stop!

Now, if innovation means flipping the caliper right side up, bleeding it, then bolting it in pace, upside down, then give 'er

I will bet that it's the hoses under the rez that are leaking. Mine leaked a wee bit this winter. Torqued them up and they are surviving. But time to replace the rubber hoses.

Mine are doing the same thing, specifically the big hose from the pump to the reservoir. I tightened the clamps and that stopped it from leaving marks on the ground but it is still wet.

Not sure. Too much poop behind it to move it out of the garage yet.
