Another Year, Another thread on Winter storage. Please post up, what do you do and what do you use. IE Batteries, Fluids, Cover, you know the rest!

[Linda's Hell Cat]

Fall is here and the Holidays are around the corner.

I thought I'd see what everyone does, to take care of their Hellcats during the Wintertime season!


Storage or Driving!

Thanks
Linda

You don't take it out for a drive on a nice clear day?

Salt is the devil

Salt is the devil

I forgot about that in the Tundra.

Even worse
Windsor has salt mine
They drive around in circles dumping it endlessly

Holy shit.

Mine gets parked from mid-November to mid-March.

I do an oil change.
Add Stabil 360 and fill the gas tank.
Over inflate the tires to 45psi.
Put a battery tender on it.
Put a good car cover over it.
Wipe away a couple tears.

It starts and runs every spring just like new. (I'm still on the original 2016 battery.)

I'm on battery #5. After I stopped using a burnbox, I no longer had battery problems.

 

[DaveB]

I do exact same as Jroyk…except it will be next weekend.
I’ve got a Burnbox, but I use a Battery Tender Jr….original battery still. (2016 HC)

Edit: I also make sure the body is dust and dirt free before covering it. I use a California Duster and quick detailer.

Our season is just beginning. Plenty of car meets, racing and such through May.

Fuck no...first salt of the season...my cats hide like a scared turtle....(in a 50% humidity 65 degree..heated floor..dust controlled lair)..no need to even cover em...the illegal immigrants wish they had it so good...

Tie guy is being less than candid...in Canada they soak the highways in beer...the alcohol prevents freezing...but roads get a tad sudsy..tie guy can be seen licking his way to work @ times...

So...what do you drive through the snow...

 

[Jimmy N.]

It's a simple procedure, really.

Change the oil, put some Star Tron in the tank, park it, hook up the BatteryMINDer as usual, and call it good.

A ‘14 Grand Cherokee Overland and a ‘22 Grand Cherokee Summit. The ‘14 still runs great and is rust-free after 10 Michigan winters.

An oil pressure sensor is the only repair the ‘14 has needed in 89k miles. Minimal surface rust underneath. Hoping I’m as lucky with the new one.
