Put a real fuel filter/water separator on it. You can buy the Roosa
Master filter pair from a tractor salvage yard. Most John Deere
Diesels from 4020 on have them
My 87 K30 crew cab dually that I just got running looks like it's getting
in the neighborhood of 17 mpg or so. TH400, no overdrive, 4x4, dually, with
what feels like 4.10 gears.
Sad thing is that's about the mileage of the 05 dodge crew cab dually 4x4,
with a cummins, six speed manual, and 3.73s.

I'm eyeing a mid '80s Suburban. I own a gasoline-powered one,
but it's wearing out and I'd rather have a diesel. But I've
never owned a GM diesel.
So what thing do I need to look at or ask about?
Are there there any wicked or expensive common failure modes?
Other advise?

I don't know that much about these, HOWEVER, when I worked at the
dealership we still had a few of these come in from previous days as a
GMC truck dealer. The
somewhat like a 240D (although it'd
chirp the tires in 1st).
A bit more power would be nice and I imagine the fuel economy would be good in
a light chassis like that.
