Glad you got her up and running... i had a no start issue with my fuel tank selector valve! where the dash switch was on the front tank, but it was returning fuel to the rear tank!... and when i first bought my truck, i was new to diesels.. and had to fly to Sacramento to pick it up.. and my buddy said to get its oil changed before driving back to San Diego.. so i had it changed in a shop.. got halfway home, and while getting fuel.. i checked the oil.. it Was the blackest oil ive ever seen... I really Thought the Shop Juked me and didnt change it.. but i saw the guy pull the plug n filter and oil drain.... haha
i had to google "black diesel oil after oil change" haha

ran it empty the whole drive home (didnt know it was empty till last night)
synchros made some weird noises but we never loaded it up or anything so its all good still, even if the synchros go out im fine with that, just a little harder to shift

while doing the coolant I did notice a little oil running down the outside of the filter, im assuming this is just because the bit it screws onto (technical name) had some oil on it? or should I snug it up some more? wasnt a whole lot and would amount to the same amount ive heard about (a quart every 700 miles)
