Bought a 92 D250 now what to do?

Just bought a 92 D250 to drive to work/tow/haul etc.

221K on it. Cummins/518/dana 70 3:5 sure grip rear

LE edition all power and the a/c works!!!

Needs body work and paint.

I was wondering where you guys would start on doing any kind of a "tune up " on this CTD.

Air fuel and oild filters with an oil change would be a good start.

I have yet to change a fuel filter on a CTD. Do I have to use a pump lever to re prime the line after replacing the filter even if I fill the filter with fuel or additive?

Is the old diesel tune up true, fill the filter with some power service or favorite brand of fuel additive/injector cleaner and let it rip?

Ill have to stop by the Cummins store and get a B59 manual and adjust the valves also.

The tranny was rebuilt 8,000 miles ago. Ball joints and tires very recently.

Any advice? Its appreciated.

Thanks
Paul
