Great, thanks for all the info, very helpful forum. Just got my big box of filters ups today. Im gonna change them out this weekend and see how she runs. Ive got all the filters, but if anyone does not mind confiming my fluids below, I would appreciate it.

Coolant - zyrex (sorry not sure of spelling)

Transmission and power steering fluid change - standard ATF fluid

Oil - Castrol diesel rated oil, 5-40 (now I do live in Phoenix where temperatures are usually high, so would anyone recommend a different oil weight for my climate?)

I beleive thats all of the fluids I need.

And greasegeek, thanks for the offer. I will be interested in a few sheets from ya, just would like to get it going mechanically sound before working on appearance

Oh and edited to say, yes glowplug comes on for 5-10 seconds and goes out - of course before attempting to start.
