For those of us that put away their Mopars in October, then bring them back out sometime during the spring (more like summer in MI), what steps do you like to check/perform before turning it over?
NONE! Some will say a bit of cranking may help by priming the oiling system but other will say it's going to take the same number of revolutions whether it's running or not.
However then again the lower end is not under the same load while cranking as it is running, but the lifter to cam interface is not getting lubed,
So, the correct answer depends on whether you are a democrat or republican? LOL
On a more serious side I don't know anyone that has done anything other than hit the electric pump, give it 2 or 3 pumps and hit the key, or crank till it gets fuel while pumping until it starts.
