Should I do anything special to a 77 Flx Transit bought for a parts bus while it's in storage in the salvage yard? Bus in running condition.

Thanks

Hi Steve,

Glad to see you on these boards.

Do you have an DD engine service manual? In the back there is a detailed procedure on how to 'pickle' an 8V71 for long term storage. It sounds like a bit of work, though. Draining fluids etc. . .

Would it be possible to take the old girl out for a drive every few weeks? Might be more fun and easier than pickling it.

However, if it is just a parts bus, maybe not to worry about preserving it at all?

Scott
74 Flx transit
