Nothing to hate about diesel, it's about the idiots that think they need to idle them excessively all the time for no reason.
From this thread, I think we agree. However the definition of "excessive" seems to be elusive. I ran into a guy in Delaware last year with an old Greyhound conversion. It originally had a Detroit diesel 2 stroke. He said he felt bad for the people next to him when he started up in the morning. Those old smokers needed to warm up or they blow oil smoke for an hour. The video I posted demonstrated that. After a couple of starts, it ran smoother.
No, wrong! A Detroit simply WILL NOT warm up idling...it needs to be driven!
