    How to tell actual mileage

    Best way to tell is overall condition of the truck look under the hood if everything looks good as new than most likely it has little wear look for wear on the steering wheel or the pad on the brake pedal and the accelerater pedal that will be your best indicator.

    yet another glow plug issue

    I have one on the driver side that misses at start up and that is the only side that I get smoke from on a cold start so I figure its an injector I can hear it faintly when the engine is running too. I have several 6.2s sitting here to take one from I just need the ambition to get it changed out.
