If you haven't adjusted the valves yet DO IT. Honestly, once you do it once, you'll realize it's not too hard and actually satisfying. If you're really in for it, do a compression check at the same time. I found from my own experience knowing there is good compression is also a boost of confidence in the car. These cars are fantastic! I have a Euro 240 4 speed, and honestly I think it's dangerously slow. I plan to drop a later model turbo diesel into it, then it should be what *I* think it should have been from factory. Anyways good luck! I'll be in AK for three weeks this summer and can't wait. Lived in Kenai summer of 2003 and loved it.

I'm also a 90s Ford diesel truck lover. I had the 1992.5 PowerStroke and it's one of the favourite vehicles I've ever owned. Sadly, they have gone up in price since I bought mine in 1998 and I can't afford a decent one now that's not a rust bucket.
