Blazer neglect

[hi pinion]

Ok , ive had my blazer parked for 2 months now,,, mabey 3 months,i just havent had the time latetly. My question is, how long before stuff starts frezzing up,,etc? Seals going dry etc??? Like a general rule of thumb, of how often to start it up and what not?

My K5 is at my parents house on the other side of the country from me. My dad drives it for me once or twice a month.

Everything is well with it the couple of times a year I get to drive it. Although, my visits usually include upgrading something on it.

I know how ya feel. My 82 Jimmy has been sitting in my garden for the last 2-3 years. It doesn't have a drivetrain(eng/tranny/tcase) and the floors are pretty shot... Maybe someday I will get to it.



As long as you keep starting up your K5 every so often you should be ok...

I know how you feel. I have a perfect '89 that I bought last october, drove it for 2 months and then started modifying it and have maybe driven it 50 miles since then. I have the time to work on it, I just dont have the money to buy the rest of the parts I need to finish it like front and rear gears and a detroit for the rear plus labor for install since I have never done gears and I dont want to mess them up. Then I need new front and rear drive shafts and a few other small things. It kills me though since I have already put about $4k into off road parts so far and have not been able to test them out But anyway back to your question, I just start mine and run it as often as I can, I figure it cant hurt? I have already burnt 1/2 tank of gas jsut putsing around my yard
