Storage for a year
In a few months i will be going to Korea for a year and will have to put my truck in storage. i have a basic 2 pump 4 dump with 4 yellow tops system. What do i have to do to the hydraulic system to make sure everything will still be working when i get back or would it be better to just take everything off or sell it?

Re: Storage for a year
the pumps will be fine sitting just make sure to leave it with no pressure in the system...as far as teh batteries go...they will be dead when you get back unless you hook up some sort of trikkle charger to them to keep them topped off..just make sire a person can keep a eye on the chargers cause they do get hot
