Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) 12 Valve setting a year without being driven

[perickson]

How long can a 12 valve set with out being driven before things start deteriorating?

Depends on a LOT of variables.

If you want to drive it change the oil and filter,lube it. You will probably have to charge the batteries or get new ones. Or do you want to store it?

Gonna store it 6 to 12 months.

Where is it going to be stored. . outside, inside, etc. ? I have several vehicles that I have stored in a clean climate controlled garage and you really don't have to do anything special with them for storage for that length of time except maybe disconnect the battery and a good quick lube when you fire it up. Outdoor storage is a different situation

If you can, put it on jack stands and keep the tires off the ground.
Fill the fuel tank and put a stabilizer in it.
Disconnect the batteries and/or put a battery tender on them.

jgillott, it will be stored outside under carport.

some of our special trucks get stored 3 or 4 years at a time between jobs, we do nothing but remove the batteries, with you only a year I would do nothing.
