More Diesel Power exposure

[Agnem]

Page 116 in the April issue. Another reference to "forgotten diesels". At least they confess there are still thousands out there and that they are a good choice. The Paragraph starts off with "One of the best workhorse trucks of the 80's..." They alude to having sometimes starting and idling problems. Idling problems?

I always had starting problems.Thats why I got the IDI's cheap.
Never had any idling problems.

Prolly refering to smoke @ cold idle?

Take a look at their message boards. There's a category for GM 6.2/6.5, Duramax, Power Stroke and Cummins (listed in that order) - NO 6.9/7.3 IDI category I think there's a bit of GM bias over there - even in the magazine. The GM 6.2/6.5s get a lot more exposure even though our engines our far superior .

*raises a glass* I hear ya!

If a 6.9 has idling problems, then a 6.2 which has a very similar fuel system must encompass the same problems....
