Hi, I have been lurking in the back ground now for several weeks and have not found a BEGINNERS area for new diesel Owners. I bought a 2001 Duramax crew cab 2500HD with the Allison tranny (used) with 60,000 mi.
What I would like to know is, what things do I need to know that is different from a Gas motor? ie., Do I need to Warm the motor up longer? (I live in North Eastern, Cal. It gets pretty cold during the winter, It's 17 deg. out right now)
Should I not stop the motor if not needed (quick stops, Mailbox, ect.)? Any thing that a new diesel owner should know that the Owners Manual don't cover.
I have read LOT about a pre-filter, and am looking in to it
Thank you for all the great posts. Keep up the good work.
