Re: Winter Hibernation Cleanup

If it gets really cold there like it does here I increase my antifreeze/water ratio. Too much water in the mountains and it can still freeze and crack the block.

I put irish springs soap and damp rid in mine as well and then put firewall insulation around my battery. (the temp changes cause the lead plates to spread, thus ending the life of the battery)

Also I take my tires/wheels off and hang them in my garage, applying lubricant all over (even vasoline works) to prevent dry rotting.

Crank It once a week to keep the battery charged. =]

Also wax and stabil are great suggestions.
