Message: [QUOTE="MT_Diesel, post: 1179087, member: 10422"] [b]New diesel owner embarking on 2000 mile trip - Looking for advice[/b] I thought I'd bump this up one more time since I'm leaving to get the truck in 2 days. Any help is greatly appreciated! What can you offer me as far as advice for a new diesel owner? I’ve gotta drive it 2,000 miles, in winter, to get home. What do I need to know? Specific questions that come to mind are: How often should I change the FASS fuel filters? 10k like stock filters? How often should I check the fuel water separator? Monthly? What is barking the turbo and how do I avoid it? I gather it is caused by letting off quickly at or near WOT. Is this the same as turbo surge? What EGT should I let it get down to before shutting it off? What temp (EOT or ECT?) should I let it get up to before I start driving in the morning? The truck isn't gated. What scenarios produce dangerous levels of EBP? What values would you consider dangerous or should I be more concerned about the ratio with boost? Anything else I need to know for the health of the turbos or motor? Thanks a lot! [/QUOTE]
