I have an 03 Monte Carlo SS that has sat for a little over 2 years. Need to know what is crucial, secondary and can wait for getting it back out there.
I've replaced the battery and put an additive to the fuel that was remaining and it fired right up!?
The trans. fluid is red but dark, rad fluid brown but full. Thanks for your time.

change the trans fluid when you can. change the coolantnow as wellas engine oil and filter. make sure your tires are full of air and in good shape, like no rotting and get the fornt end greased. put fresher gas in it and change the fuel filter after the old gas is out of it.
