Storing the Titan for 3 months, any suggestions?
I will be going on travel for 3 months and I will be leaving my Titan in the garage, is there anything I should do to the truck since it will be just sitting there for all that time?

If it's only for 3 months i wouldn't really worry about it. As long as it's not exposed to the elements, you should be fine.

I would add some sta-bil to the gas tank and unhook the battery just to be on the safe side.

You can change your oil. This way combustion by-products aren't eating up the good additives in your oil.

Okay, thanks for the advice, I will add in some fuel stabilizer and disconnect the battery.

Would it be best just to have my wife start the truck up every weekend and let it idle for 5 minutes or so?

I would change out the oil after you park it, and again before you move it in 3 months. Fuel stabilizer in the tank, and disconnect the battery.
When you drive her again in 3 months, treat her like you're breaking her in all over again so the seals & gaskets have a chance to moisten up. After 500 or so miles, you can drive her like normal. Sorry, I guess I'm just assuming your truck is a "she."
