Welcome to the asylum Dennis. The 28 turbo diesel is indeed a sweet spot in the lineup!
A friend has a 310 turbo diesel that he is very happy with and does lots of long trips with his. He is Mayco on airforums, and has stopped here at my place a couple of times. Those are nice sounding motors when running right.

This is the link to your new best site, the mother load of active hands on owners and lots of help in any future issues you are sorting out. There a number of other diesel owners there also.
Pop over there and introduce yourself.
Does your rig have the rear bedroom?
You probably know the drill on restarting a machine after a long layup.
When was it last on the road?
Congrats on a good score!
Cheers Richard
