Hi everyone. I'm new to this site and frankly pretty new to diesels as well so forgive any ignorance I display, its really my lack of diesel knowledge. I just bought a 1951 GMC PD-4103 highway coach. I've been told that its been about 3 years since the 6-71 detroit was last run. I am curious about any tips for start up after she's been sitting for a while. I plan on draining the fuel and inspecting the oil bath air filters (which seem to have puked oil all over the engine). As well as add a small amount of diesel and engine oil mix to each cylinder to help lubricate and seal the cylinders. Mainly Im concerned with runaway and wondering how concerned with it I should be. And anything I've missed or should look at prior to starting would be great! Thanks!
