twice now in a month i and a guy on here has had problem with the glow plug electrical. make sure it is stone cold hasnt run all day when you go to look at it and start it up. other than that its just a truck. just the normal stuff. i really like the old 4spds in those 6.9's does it have a turbo kit on it? been molested by some kid? stacks ect. flags fly when i see that
