Re: my new to me 1986 chevy sub

Exhaust plans are to build one of the exhaust adapters by a dr lee swagger from over on the diesel forum an run 3" from 2.5 adapters back with proably flowmasters not sure if it's a j code or c code motor had t checked yet. I got a 6" k&n filter I could put on but would have would have to make a top for the filter. I do plan to install some hot glow plugs eventually

If you've read up on Dr. Lee Swagger, you've got the right idea.

1/2 ton Suburbans would have come stock with a C code motor.

K&N's are OK as long as you don't drive down dusty roads. They don't tend to filter out the dust as well as a paper element filter.

Bypass that glow plug controller with a push button before it causes you grief. But make sure you select the right glow plugs that can handle extended glow plug times. I'm using AC Delco 60G but there might be something preferable right now.
