Amen. Mine bought the farm at 192k or so. I had it completely refurbished and repaired, and have driven about 8k on it so far. I would service every 50k or so.

Glow plugs are not fun. In fact, I changed all of mine yesterday -- the second time I've done that. With a great partner working with me, it was still a few-hour job. That EGR collar ring is pure evil.

Oh, the engines are also very biofuel friendly -- I run mine completely on B100 and WVO.

Motor on --
Cheers, John
