Default bringing cummins out of storage.

I have a 1994 2500 with a cummins. It has 100,000 miles on it. It has been in storage inside a shop for 11 years. Before I start it, I am removing and cleaning the fuel tank, lift pump,fuel lines. Changing the oil. Is there anything else that I need to do before turning it over.

Pre oil the system with a pressure tank thru the oil filter top access plug. Not really much else to do! Fresh fuel, battery and she's alive if nothing in the fuel system got stuck with dryed out fuel. Have her crank it over new owner new life!
