Diesel newbie

Hi everyone, excited to join and learn. I've wanted a diesel truck for years now. I've also wanted a box body for quite a bit. Today I pulled the trigger and bought a 97 f250 turbo diesel 🙃. I am very green when it comes to diesel motors and hope to be able to learn a lot here from general maintenance to restoration ideas and performance modification ideas. Thanks for having me. Any recommended threads to start with would be greatly appreciated.
