    Problematic Diesel years

    May be heading out to buy a used truck this weekend. We will be looking at 3/4 or 1 ton units. I need to quickly develop a list of problematic years for diesels (or gas for that matter.) We will be looking far enough back in time that any diesels we look at were probably having pollution...

    93 Scenic Cruiser Ignition Switch

    I think I need to identify and replace the ignition switch on my 93 Spartan framed diesel pusher. The panel lights up and I get the low air pressure horn, but it will not excite the starter solenoid. Could this be something else? Had a Diesel mechanic with Allison training try to diagnose...

    Diesel Price headed much higher in 2020?

    Interesting article, albeit from one source. What caught my eye is that the International Maritime Organization rules for cleaner diesel on ships kicks in in the year 2020. This may raise the price of diesel substantially. Please do not turn my post into a political discussion. You are welcome...

    I have a 2018 Forester class c diesel with 2500 miles on it. Two days ago the dash light came on to say service A overdue by 30 days and it beeps about every 10 minutes. Is it really time to change the oil and etc.

    Diesel power train extended warranties

    I’m looking at a 2015 Chevy with the Duramax/Allison. The truck has very low miles, but it has passed the 36-month warranty period. I’m a little fun shy of it, so I’m thinking an extended warranty might be worthwhile. My experience with them is that they’re worthless, but hoping someone has had...

    New tow vehicle diesel question.

    Well I got rid of my silverado 1500 and traded it for an 05 excursion 6.0 diesel. Never owned a diesel powered vehicle personally. Is there a difference in fuel like gasoline or is it just all the same.

    Minimum Diesel Trip Length

    I have been reading in these threads that short mileage trips kill diesel engines. Is it sufficient to get the engine up to full operating temperature or must there be enough mileage to warm the entire drivetrain? If the bulk of a truck's usage is local errands what should be the minimum usage...
