My first diesel
Danny R. Sucher posted a topic in 6.6L Duramax Diesel & Allison Powertrain (L5P/MGM)
Hey, Just received my 2020 2500 sierra 4x4 turbo crew cab 3 days ago. As I said , this is my first diesel and I have some questions that my seem elementary or common sense to you. Where should the oil pressure read? After 1st start in the am, warmed up she reads up to 60lbs pressure. After that she varies from 30 to 65. Is this normal? And before I start her should I turn key to auxillery to let glow plugs warm awhile before turning ignition? My buddy knows more than me about diesels, but I am afraid his advise may be outdated. Any help would be welcomed.400 miles today only 100 more and she is broke in. Cant wait to go over 60 . Anything else you think a rookie should know?
