First diesel guys, so please explain how you drive a diesel different than a gasser.
Thanks, Lynn

 

Before you pull a trailer, let the engine warm up. Don't just take off, let it idle for 5-10min, also let it warm up a few minutes if it is cold out. Also don't immediatly shut it down, let it idle for a minute or two to let the turbo cool off. Don't hotrod it until it is warm (same with a gasser) just thought I'd mention it. Other than that, fire it off, let oil pressure stabilize and go.

 

Pedal on right = Go
Pedal on left = Stop
Turn wheel to right to go right and left to go left.
Hope that helps, plus what jake said.

 

If it is a 6.7l read the manual

 

In addition to what Jake and bksram and speakle said, you have to make sure, and this is important. to attempt to smoke out all the ricers you can that have there windows open.

 

Thats a good point. If you have straight pipes you get extra credit

 

How could we have left that out? [&o]

 

You guys are hilarious. And I actually thought I would gain some knowledge here. LOL
Yeah, the warm up/cool down I was aware of. Thanks guys.

 

I am a relatively new cummins owner myself (about 10 months) and I tell you, there is little to make your day like blowing a ton of smoke into one of those idiots window. Other than that if you keep it stock they are simple machines and very easy to maintain.

 

you'll gain knowledge. . .maybe not exactly what your looking for, but you'll get it out of us

atleast these things arent like a Contenental AVDS-1790[:@]

gotta let her sit there and idle for 10-15 min before you can give her some go juice
