Hi, Rusty, You live on the WET coast of Canada just like I do. Over the winters that I have had my truck I have had the same problem at times, also DO NOT put your parking brake on during storage, also for spring start up have a point file and contact cleaner handy. Note to Denny, it rains here from Oct. to March. Rusty you should come out to 3Bs for the picnic, check BC Bolters site here.
