1. Change out all running gear oil to fresh oil and add half a bottle of STP to each module;
2. Give your truck a good run to burn out all water from the crankcase then change your engine oil and filter;
3. Bleed the brakes to make sure you have all the air out of the wheel cylinders, fill the master cylinder;
4. Cover and tie the end of the tail pipe with a plastic bag and also the air cleaner. Also the breathing vents of each module;
5. Drain the cooling system and leave the radiator cap off, but cover with a piece of screen wire and the water drain cocks open;
6. Take the battery out of the truck;
7. Jack the tires up and block them off the ground,
8. Drain the gas tank and carburator;
9. Leave the key in the ignition switch. 10 years is a long time,
10. Make sure all windows are up and vents closed,
10. Store it in a building if possible, or under a car port.
