How long does gas stay good? Haven't ran the motor in about 2 months but the tank had a can of seafoam. It acts as a stabilizer as well doesn't it? Don't want to pull the gas if I don't need to.

Untreated gas can last up to 3-4 months depending on the container and the environment
Seafoam isn't really a fuel stabilizer, but does have some ability to absorb water.
Does the fuel look ok?
Any major color changes?
does it still smell like fresh gas?
if yes then you should be good.
and if your still worried about it, get some ISO-HEET and some octane booster and you should be good to go.

Your good. Sea Foam is good stuff. Just worked on a boat that set for 18 months and with only Sea Foam added. It was still good. Still smelled good. Don`t believe me, PM me and I will give you the owners phone number so you can talk directly to him.

I had problems with gas going bad in the Gator. I switched to ethanol free gas and no more problems.

I haven't smelled the gas yet. The boat has been outside and under a boat cover the last couple months. Tank is probably half full. I wouldn't know what bad gas smells like? I'm gonna pour some stabil in it and fill up with premium and hope we are good to go.

You should be fine, especially if you had Seafoam in it. I'd just fill it up and run it. If you are really worried, unhook your fuel line from the motor and siphon it into your truck. I've ran it older than that with no additive and didn't have a problem.
