JT;
Check your front axle boots to see if they are torn or missing. They keep the bearing grease from escaping the bearings. Saturn Surplus has them. They also have fuel filters. Since it's doubtful the diesel in the system is any good, change the filters and save you fuel injector distrobutor pump ($1000 repair for me in Terre Haute). If you can blow out the fuel lines with compressed air and eliminate as much junk as you can, do it. Also check your battery connectors for rust and/or corrosion. A bad connection will burn out the starter solenoid quickly. Also check the air tanks under the chassis behind the spare tire to see if there is any water in them. Check again once the engine is running to clean out any residual water or other goop in the system. If possible pour some rubbing alcohol into the air compressor intake to help dry out your air system.
Just some things I learned the hard way from Chicago.
