Welcome to the 6.2 forum and the Diesel Place, sit back kick your shoes off and join in on the fun. New to Diesels don't worry you will be up to speed in no time.

No big mystery to Diesels really pretty simple for some good basic info on how they work check out http://www.bankspower.com/tech.cfm then spend some time in our own FAQs be patient it's growing as is this site, shoot me a PM if you see something missing you think should be added. This is a member participation site only as good as the membership makes it.

Everybody brings their own experience and knowhow to the site, no question is too dumb I will ask that you 1st use the FAQs and search feature, it is quite possible your question may have been covered before, you may find the answer or may be better able to understand an answer given if you have a good idea of the basics.

Be civil/patient it is easy to misinterpret written responses, they may come off as an attack when none is intended, PM is a great tool for this, hard to get a writers tone as no voice or facial expression to get the "feeling" of the response.

Lastly update your signature line (far left on main tool bar in Users CP button) to include your truck's info, and any mods you have on it, keeps us from incorrectly diagnosing a problem, say spending time advising on a how to check EGR equipment problems only to find out later you don't even have it on your truck. Reading RPO codes as listed in FAQ will tell you what options your truck came with, use the major component RPO info in your signature also a big help to us for diagnosing a problem.

Welcome again

Now that you have the gist of the site you will want to spend time in the reference area or what we commonly call the FAQ (frequently asked questions) for detailed information about your 6.2 or 6.5 vehicle http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/showthread.php?t=53309 also listed as a sticky post loced at top of the 6.2 or 6.5 topic areas
