Starting my 2007 dodge 6.7 diesel? Hasn't been touched since Aug. 2014

I'm flying to Florida to pick up my truck . The truck hasn't been started or moved since my divorce In Aug. Of 2014! Does any one know what I'm going to need to do besides change the batteries?

Actually, other than checking the fluid levels, I wouldn't get too excited unless you think there might be some form of sabotage.

Charge or new batteries, check her over and start it up.

My only concern in the humidity of Florida would be algae in the fuel....Might want to stop by auto parts store and pick up some Bio-Kleen or something similar to kill it in the tank.

Also a extra fuel filter or 2 because it will plug up and leave you stranded if the tank has a lot in it...
