Hey guys, so im about to go travel 500 miles to pick up a 2008 supercrew lariat. It was my grandfathers but he passed away 4 years ago and it was his truck. Since then, the truck has basically sat in the barn. occasionally being taken out once every two months. I just wanted yalls 2 cents on what all I should do to her before driving her the 500 miles back home.

Thanks in advance!

Change the oil, fill it with gas, maybe put a fuel treatment in it for moisture, and check all fluids.

SCORGE

Fuel Filter, FPDM inspection, oil/filter change, air filter check, make sure tires are squared away; properly aligned, balanced and aired up, trans fluid and coolant check.
What engine and how many miles?
Spark plugs and COPS changed (depending on miles)

MINIMUM: oil and filter, fuel AND AIR filter, drain tank, service radiator, change brake fluid in master cylinder.

CHECK TIRES AND BELT FOR DRY ROT

Plugs and coils should be good then.
