GM 6.2 Diesel Engine
My daughter just purchased an early 80's GMC G30 class B+ motorhome with a 6.2l V8 diesel engine. OK, I can handle all of the basic mechanical stuff necessary to resurrect an old and neglected vehicle (brakes, shocks, air bags, some electrical, etc) and most stuff with a gas burning engine, but I have never wrenched on a diesel before. These things were built for some time so I gotta think parts are plentiful, but any advice specific to work on a demon-fuel motor? It only has 61,000 miles on it so I would think it would be good for quite a bit more, but not knowing when it was last run I don't want to tell her to just check the oil and fire it up. God knows how she is going to get it home

Visit duramax forum dot com, no space. Plenty of resources there and helpful folks. Hopefully you can get some good answers there

This is an old school Detroit Diesel, not the Duramax. That site has a subforum for it, but it's kind of dead.

Yeah, that was what I found, too so I was hoping there was more info/help somewhere else. I am probably making too much of the differences between gas & diesel, but I know she doesn't have a pot to piss in so I won't have the leeway to spend what I need to make mistakes and figure it out (not that my projects are flush with cash).
