Default Diesel? Is that like super gas?

Hello everyone I just bought my first diesel, 2008 6.7 Cummins. I've worked on gas engines and I'm pretty good with the basics on those. I've watched some videos online of what these diesels can do though so I want to get more in depth with this truck than I have with the gas engines. Any tips on what I should start with, it's stock right now, would be greatly appreciated.

I look forward to filling my head with tons of knowledge.

Stick around long enough, and you'll probably learn more about diesels than you ever wanted to know.

Diesel fuel has more energy than gasoline, but it's not super gas.
