Message: [QUOTE="truckman1974, post: 1103222, member: 17567"] As some of you may have read, I'm an Army guy currently deployed to West Africa....saving the world and doing my part to "fight Ebola"... :slap: Anyway.... I will be over here for about 8 months before I return home for a short leave/vacation period and then back over here for about another year. My truck is parked at my mother's house right now and she is going to crank it and let it run for me for 10-15 minutes every other weekend (is that enough?). I'm wondering if that's bad for the truck, is it going to hurt anything, and/or are there things I need to watch for or be concerned about. It's got a full tank of diesel (she can't drive that big thing...lol) and has some additive in the tank (Diesel Kleen). Do you think it will be ok? I'm a first time diesel owner (actually haven't even been able to lay eyes on this truck other than the pictures....I bought it online) and on here to try to learn some stuff before I get back home. Thanks for the help and advice.... [/QUOTE]
