Talking New baby

Just got a 2wd 1991 F-250 with 7.3l diesel and 5 speed. It's got 197K miles, so I figure it's just getting broken in. Runs good, rides nice.

Anything special I should know about maintenance? What kind of coolant do I need and do I need the additive the Powerstrokes use (Fw-16 I think)? I'm planning on an oil analysis when I change the oil later this week.

Thanks,

Jay
