Just got a '98 3500 4 door 4x4 with the 6.5 turbo.

What do i need to pay attention to/ watch out for as far as problem areas in this truck? First Chevy truck we ever had, always had fords before this.

glad to see you came over from the darkside.

this to watch for or look at seeping or leaking oil cooler lines, make sure that you clean out between the front of the radiator and the back of the condenser very over looked cleaning place to keep truck running cool. normal up keep goes a long way to a long running truck filters are cheap flushing coolant system another often over looked item

good luck ask away with question most of us 6.5 geeks love helping fellow diesel nuts

If you haven't relocated the PMD, you might want to think about getting a harness extension or remote mounting kit. The PMD is known to crap out if it gets hot too much.
