Like our friend from Ak said, lot of miles left in it. Watch for a smokin deal patiently.
The atf thing is done when you can leave the engine sit a couple days, and right when oil change is due. Disconnect battery so you can’t accidentally crank it over. Remove the glow plugs and put 1/2 cup of atf down each cylinder. Let it sit for 36-48 hours. Turn the engine over by hand NOT THE STARTER. this will push out any remaining atf from cylinders. Then after a couple revolutions you can put back in glows and start it. It will smoke a second, then clean up. The atf helps lossen rings stuck to the piston so they can float properly.
Dont get the seafoam that is poured into fuel tank.
seafoam into intake just like the water into intake would be, but seafoam can is a sray bottle so much easier.
