Then you may want to start it every eight hours, so it doesn't get cold.

Question,I put my HC Challenger in storage for the winter.I did all the prep: full tank of fuel with sta-bil,inflated the tires and put it up on ramps(race ready)etc.should I start it and let it run periodically or leave it sit and wait till I get it out in the spring?

It’s been so nice in the usually frozen Midwest that I just reinstated my insurance and put 700 miles on mine! My face hurts from smiling!😁

Rained hard here last night. Washed all the salt away. Nice and sunny today so drove it to work. Cant wait to take the long way home.

Here’s the article from dodge on priming the motor. I do this because my car sits for up to 4 months.

Thanks for posting this - I haven't been priming. It always starts right up after sleepy time, but good to know I can do more to protect it at startup.

In late November I had the oil changed and put on a few hundred miles. Topped off the fuel tank, put 37 lbs of air in the tires and parked it on 2” rigid pink insulation boards for the winter. Every two ish weeks I use a DeWalt battery charger and maintainer for a few hours until it goes green. I’ll prime before the first start. I have also been having ongoing conversations with Mother Nature voicing my displeasure with her idea of winter, fake spring one, winter two, fake spring two, winter three, 70’s in February and now a mid March nor’easter. Hoping for April ish and a few good rains to get back on the road!
