Yeah, most of the Cummins guys I’ve met are the same way. I let a couple of them drive my rig once and they couldn’t believe it was an idi. They thought it was a tuned out 12 valveOff subject, but still relates. My latest favorite quote is from my July Colorado trip. One of the Cummins drivers asked how my old IDI handled the high elevation. I told him that it was slow, but it would be better with a turbo. Then I said that it's just a balancing act between watching the pyro and watching the tailpipe for black smoke. He smarted off and said" Oh EGTs are just a number". My reply was "True. So is the temperature that aluminum starts to melt at". That ended that smart a** comments from him.
