Very New Diesel Owner
Hello,
I'm a novice diesel owner. I've just aquire a 2007.5 Chevy K2500HD crew cab LMM Duramax. This is my first diesel, but not my first truck. The new truck will be carrying a shor bed camper. I have a lot to learn. Please help
What is the most important things to know about a diesel engine? I don't want to damage this engine due to my lack of experince.
Thank you,
Daryles1

Welcome to the bombers you made a good choice joining up. sounds like you got a nice truck though I love the dmax's they are awesome trucks.
diesels are pretty simple to take care of let it warm up and cool down after a good drive. try not to run it outa fuel I would suggest getting some gauges at least exhaust temp, trans temp, most likely a fuel pressure one to just so you can keep some tabs on what your engine is doing.
I am sure some others will pop in that know a little more about the dmax lmm engines.
