New to forum, need advice...

Hi all,
I'm normally in the IDI forum, but I'm looking at a PSD, and am begging for advice.

f550 4x4 powerstroke VERY CLEAN!

I'm doing a bunch of reading here now, but if anyone has any tips on things to look for, common problems, etc., I'd be grateful.
I'd put a dump bed & plow on for plowing/sanding in the winter, and hauling dirt/towing a skid steer in the summer.

Thanks much,
Phy

Looks like a heck of a deal. Quite possibly a glow plug relay issue. Might have a couple of failed glow plugs. Just a guess.
