This is my first Diesel and I am wondering if there is a certian way to deal with cold weather starting and stoping the engine.
I understand the Block heater issue but what I am asking is , Do I need to let this D/A idle before taking off in the morning. I drive less than a mile to the expressway and drive about 15 miles to work. I also set in my truck at lunch and listen to the radio. Now with it getting colder I will be letting the engine run for 20-25 min for heat.
These might sound like dumb questions but I want this truck to last a long time ( at least long enough to pay it off ). Any input from you guys will help.
Thanks
Paul
