Picked up a 86 300sdl blowing black smoke yesterday . I made it home ( kansas city and a tad bit north and east ) from OKC late last night .
It had blown out the center of 2 glow plugs on the way home . Not a happy drive to say the least .No over heating hard to start . Should have taken a trailer . And another lesson learned .
Thankfully family's every couple hours apart along the way. Will need to fix it quick . Rides better than a 62 deuce and a quarter .

Cool site . lots to learn .
Looking at doing a diesel purge this week first off as been sitting for a bit .
