Truck hasnt been started in two months

My truck has been down with an on going problem for about two and a half months through all of this cold and everything it hasnt been started. I know at work when our freightliners havent been started in a long time a lot of stuff breaks and there are a whole new bag of problems with them upon first start up. Has anyone experience a long down time with there truck. Im scared of an injector tip or something blowing of and melting a piston. Or basically any problem at all.

I don't think a couple months is a real serious thing. I'd give the batteries a good charge first, inspect all the fluids, then check the fan, shroud, belt and pulleys to make sure nothing is nesting there or in the way.
