Gonna get sarcastic here. Like buickanddeere said, it's the maucho thing. Everyone around my neck of the woods that has a Ford diesel that's 4wd thinks they are hot stuff. Get out of my way the road is mine or I'll run over you. And every time there is an accident on the interstate coming to work, one is involved.....like this morning.
---------------------- One benefit is diesels don't generate the heat gas fired engines do so in the summer time, it can idle, not overheat, and keep the truck cool with the A/C. Since fuel efficiency at idle is the best, it's cheap. On long time idling truckers in the North especially, during the winter leave their engines on as it saves the wear and tear trying to get it started the next morning, and if they are in the bunk, it provides some heat. I know one trucking company that had specific procedures and time limits for it's drivers with respect to this subject. There is the cool down potential damage problem however and that has to be factored in when it's cold outside and your engine is running cool. That's one reason for the zip up blinds on the radiator. When you don't want her cool, close off the radiator air. Mark
