Here is my 1990 6.2 Blazer. It's bone stock with the exception of a K&N Air Filter, New Stanadyne FM100 Fuel Manager, and larger wheels and tires. It is a Silverado with 42,000 original miles. It was previously owned by my grandfather and sat for a long time while he was sick. Since I got it in May I have done the following:
-New
I'm loving my first Diesel. It's getting better fuel efficiency than all of my previous trucks. Let me know what you think.

Here it is when all I had done was remove the big red bug shield and the running boards.

I would drop those auto locking hubs. I never had good luck with them. I put Warn's in mine it was like $80's for a set. That was like 7 years ago though.

That's on my "to do" list Phil. Thanks for the advice, bro.

I replaced the glow plugs Saturday. I'm glad I did. They were the original 9G's. I replaced them with AC Delco 60G's. It took me about an hour and a half and resulted in a much improved cold start with smoother idle and much less smoke.
I ordered some rebuilt injectors with Bosch nozzles yesterday. Got them from a guy on ebay for $170. Much better than $480 locally!!
