I have a 2017 Mustang GT 5.0 6 speed and a 1963 Ford Galaxie 390 4 speed. In the winter months of Nebraska i do not drive these cars and I have a question on what is best method to store them in my garage over the winter.
Currently I put a a battery tender on both and stabil in the gas tank, as I try to start up every couple of weeks to run and warm them up.
Do you have any additional or changes in my process for what is best for the cars over the winter time storage?
Thanks
Dave
I'd do a full service on them. Fresh fluids, greased fittings, and maybe protect tires if they are special.
Jimz followup questions for you on that; 1 - do you do those things before putting it away or when taking it back out or both? 2 - I have a 2002 mustang and keep it in garage in winter. Recently I think it was Scotty who advised putting up on blocks to maintain integrity of tires which made sense to me since I had it garaged for two years until this summer and took a little while for the ride to stop shaking and be smooth on highway. Thoughts on any of this? 3 - can you explain what you mean by protect tires if different from my question above?
I think he means spray something on them. They won't be exposed to UV in the garage, but maybe if you live in a dry climate ...
cool thank you
By protecting them I meant to take weight off of them. Either put car on jacks or have spare set of tires for storage. I guess that is agreeing with Scotty. I'd also take air out of tires. As for lubes/grease it would be determined by how long you store the car. A few months wouldn't be a big deal so I'd just grease at the beginning of storage.
I think you've got it covered for winter storage. Maybe block it up if you don't flat spots on the tire when you first take the car out.
Thank you!,,
