glad to have you on board! prepare to get dirty!

Do you have any mechanical experience?
What type of transmission?
what body style ?

A few quick tips, if it's not starting don't crank it for more than 10 seconds and let it cool for a minute, you can easily burn your starter up and add to your problems, learn about glow plugs and air intrusion,

Yes, Welcome to the forum.
A 93? WOW that is too new compared to what I own.

When you click back out of this thread to the main Diesel page, go up top
and read the stickies. a ton of info on IDI info, Glow Plug in for your
engine, (7.3).
Lots of info in the forum, guys with a lot of knowledge, some knowledge,
think they know what they know, and me that thinks he knows what he
knows, but doen`t have a clue what he knows.

Charlie
