Hi Joe welcome to oilburners.

I'm concerned with the hard starting. If he put new glow plugs in and they are working correctly, it should fire right up. Especially this time of year.

If it does run good and the 4x4 works, 2 grand doesn't sound too bad. If you aren't in a hurry, though you can probably find something nicer for the same money.

Welcome aboard, I would be more concerned with the rust, Like flatlander says, you can probablly find a better deal out there.

Got air?

Bypass the water separator.
I couldn't stop the flow of air in, after the 1st time "I pulled the pin"
Or block the exit tube, under the driverside door, forward. might work.
Air seems to be a big problem for some.

OT, sounds like a good deal IMO

Bypassing it is an OK idea. Going without water filtration is not.
