new guy here, just bought my first 300D about a month ago, been driving an F250 6.9 for about 7 years now.

First question, need to replace the glow plugs, what is the preferred brand?

Should I go with Bosch or is there something better?


next question:

what is the preferred brand of coolant that will provide the cavitation protection and other properties necessary to getting a lot more miles out of this old classic?

Last question:

previous owner tried to bypass old dead power antenna by patching in a universal mount antenna, and trying to splice into the original antenna coaxial cable with miserable failure.

I have purchased a Hirschmann replacement antenna and coax, but need to know how to snake the new cable up to the radio, has anyone done this sucessfully, and if so please speak up.

Trying to tackle the basics right now, will be posting on other problems related to cruise and dash lights and ticking noise coming from under the dash when the door is openned, brakes are applied,etc.

It sounds like a turn signal flasher noise, it goes away after about 30 seconds.

If anyone has any input for any of these questions, I would definitely appreciate some feedback.
