Vehicle maintance after sitting a while

[minionsram]

Ok my RC has been sitting in the states waiting on me to get home. Will be moving from SC to OK on orders to Ft Sill. Was going to do a day of work or so to make it tip top for the new place. It is a 90 RC w150, 360, 518 and 241. I plan on doing the following:
Fresh oils in trans, engine and axles.
TB is going to get cleaned
Check or replace the Belts and hoses.

What other things could I clean or service? Any other things that build up carbon that can be serviced? Refresh my memory

Grease it and check your u-joints.  Wiper blades need to be checked.  And, it might be a good time to clean the debris out of the heater box.

might throw a fuel filter in there.

There is also a way to rebuild your injectors replacing the parts that get dirty or wear out. I would have to look for the link.

+1 on the fuel filter , I don't know how much time it has been shitting but check the fuel lines just in case and maybe throw new coolant in the radiator.

Yes please, I have never even looked at these injectors. I am sure they need it.

Ok guys! What about carbon build up. I plan on cleaning he tb but what areas are prime to carbon build up?

I can only guess they sell rebuild kits for the TBI injectors. If not let me know I have a new one sitting in my office I picked up and did not need. Then you only need 1 more.

Standard PMCS along with these other suggestions. Might I suggest something with the injectors before you tear them apart? Get fresh fuel in there, then run some seafoam.... If it starts and runs then why tear injectors apart? If you don't wanna run seafoam run a quart of ATF in the fuel. Cheap injector cleaner. Think about it, what's ATF? A lubricant with detergent basically. We've done that so many times with diesels, especially 6.2 with a injector that sticking and had them start working again.(I did it over in germany once with a CUCV and that active duty 7 looked at me like I was nuts. Had his guy go out and drive it about 30 miles. He came back and truck was running fine. He said he'd never heard of doing that. I just looked at him and said "well, now you have") Works the same with gassers.

Your RC isn't any different than anything else you're used to working on. If a piece of equip has been in storage for a while it just needs a good service and then a short roadtest(about 10/20 miles) then reinspect. You know the deal, seals might be the biggest issue. Good luck and (little early) welcome home.

OH yeah I have used "cherry juice" to clean fuel systems, Un-seize motors and a few other things The last thing I did that had the 91B's at work scratching their heads. We had a Hummvee with a toasted trans that had a few more miles to go to get us to the Motor pool. Instead of wait 6 or so hours for a wrecker or someone with a tow bar, I put a pint of diesel in it to swell up what was left of clutches, It got us back Hell it needed rebuilding anyhow and I did not feel like waiting.

So you're one of the guys that knows more than what they teach at school huh? Cool. Yeah when it's at that point, hell with it. Go or blow.

Unfortunately I am a this company's only fabricator. It's sad when the Bravos and Hotels are comin to me for advise because all they know is what they was taught at AIT. I think a pre requisite for the jobs now is no common seance.
