Thoughts on engine after GP removed Cdr and/or air filter

[M1028A1ShelterCarrier]

Hello,

If the truck was a runner and then sat in the desert without the cdr/air cleaner, should the motor be torn down or is there a process to flush? The truck I'm looking at has the hood in place giving the engine some protection. OR should I just change the oil /replace parts and go for it? Hopefully they get auctioned shortly after those parts are removed. Thanks

Mine was a runner with no CDR valve and no air filter. I addressed those things immediately and have not had any problems.

I did have to start it with those items missing to drive it off the truck. That made me nervous but I checked inside the airbox for water and debris before starting it.
