Hello all,
I'm the proud owner of a truck I absolutely love. I got It a year ago, with 300,000 on the clock. It runs great and my independent diesel mechanic said he's never seen such clean oil, even on a almost new motor.
It's great to hear that the engine's been so well taken care of, but I'd suggest you go out and get some diesel fuel additive (I highly recommend Opti-Lube summer blend). With the mileage on the vehicle, it would probably do it well to clean out the injectors and any other gunk that's collected in the fuel system over the years and miles. Who knows what quality of diesel fuel it has had over the years, and it should help get the engine somewhere close to the peak operating efficiency it had when it was new.
