Hello to all,

I have a 1991 Sonoma ST with 4.3, 5spd and 14,000 miles.
The truck has been sitting for about 3 years in storage. I need to move the truck soon and I was hoping for some advice on what to do with the vehicle so that I don't do any damage when I start the engine.
Any advice will be appreciated.

Thanks

Change the oil and filter, pull the plugs and put some penetrating oil in the cylinderslet it sit overnite, spin the engine over plugs out, disconnect the fuel pump/fuse while doing this. Try and drain as much of the old fuel as possible,get fresh uel look for signs of rodents nesting, put the fuse in, prime the pump by cycling the ign, remember to fill the oil filter also.
