Advice on buying a 1997 Chevy 6.5l diesel

I am looking at buying a Chevy 4x4 6.5l diesel. The unit looks and
runs like new. Any input on what I need to be looking at or questions
I need to ask about the engine, ect?

Any owners with experience with this engine would be helpful.

Don't know how much experience you've had with Diesels, so I'll assume
you're a complete novice and give you a hint a lot of people probably wish
they'd had.

Get it checked by a professional.

Diesels are VERY expensive to repair when anything does go wrong. If it's
been looked after by anyone with half a brain it's probably bulletproof, but
you don't want to risk it. I've been lucky with Diesels so far, but it only
takes a small case of overlooking something and you're up for effectively
the price of a new engine... and they aint cheap.

Just some worthless advise, good luck with your purchase.
