Update: I am going to go get it Monday, would of today but work got in the way. Pretty excited about it, only thing I am going to be nervous about is the injectors as the current owner doesn't know when or if they have ever been replaced but has always changed the oil every 5k along with the fuel filter every 10k. I talked to our diesel specialist here and he said worst case is down the road 3K for injectors to be replaced. It doesnt smoke on cold start, and starts right up without any shaking or funny noises. Non the less I can't wait to call her mine!

I think I might just get seat covers for the front and back and call it good, as it is in great condition...and I know I am going to want to start some mods on the motor, its all stock right now has new exhaust but is just single 3inch , I want to do the exhaust 4inch turbo back with a 5 inch tip, but have no idea where to start with the motor. Chip? Fuel Plate?

You need:
3 inch downpipe with your exhaust mods,
6637 intake,
boost and egt gauges so you don't melt down your motor
After that there is always:
Electric fuel
Bigger Turbo
Bigger Injectors
Built auto or SMF conversion and built clutch if 5spd.

These don't require fuel plates, that is a Cummins thing IIRC.

I run a 15w40 Shell Rotella, Delo is also quite fine in the same viscosity. I am gonna try a 5w40 for this winter though I think. I run a synthetic atf in my zf5 trans, I run any 80w90 in my diffs, t case I haven't changed.
