What to look for
Hey guys, I found a great deal on a 97 12V. It is already out of the truck so I can't hear it run. I was just wondering what sort of problem areas I should be looking at carefully? The diesel stuff is new to me...normally I'd check spark plugs, look at oil, check compression etc but obviously things are different when looking at a diesel. Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks in advance!

out of the truck?, i guess you mean you have found a good deal on a 97 12v engine. is this correct?, if it is than check the the front timing gear case for oil leaks, and check for the killer dowel pin im sure others will chime in on what else to check.
