In August 2021 I put my 66 M35a2 in long term storage to the extent fluids were topped off and I used 8 jack stands to keep the tires off the ground. In 2 months I will be performing what we Sailors call start-up maintenance. Below is my running list of things that I can think of. Please let me know if I'm forgetting anything.
Replace oil filters, fuel filters, clean air filter.
Drain and fill engine oil 6 Gallon 10w-40, transmission 80w-90 1 gallon , transfer-case 80w-90 and axle oil 4.5 gallons 80w-90 sense I will have 4000lbs in the bed and will be towing a M105A2.
35 lbs. red Grease, all 22ish grease fittings, clean off old wheel bearings and repack, clean and adjust brakes, check for leaking wheel cylinders.
Bleed brake system and check for leaks again.
Charge up group 31 batteries on charger, check coolant level, replace belts if needed, verify air system is building 90-120 PSI pressure, check all lamps and bulbs, verify tire pressure with caulk line, let old fuel mix by turning on the accessory switch for about 30 minutes.
