Sorry, I thought this forum was about helping other folks who wanted to learn about better, smarter ways to do things.
If folks want to keep doing it wrong because that's the way they've always done it, like I said, it's a free country and their money. Have at it, as the guy above said, there's always someone ready to take folks money to pick up the pieces and try to put them back together again.
Is it your understanding along with others that your way is better and smarter without any technical reason supported by Cummins why the light throttle warm up to 150 is acceptable to ignore? Unless of course we are in agreement. If this is the case then all this was for nothing. I stated my case and no one here has answered it with a ligitimate response other than take a longer route or warm up somewhere else. The only thing I believe anyone has learned is we agree to disagree.
I've had 6 cummins Diesel engines over the last 15 years and never had one engine issue. Each and every one started and maintained in the same manner. Maybe I'm just one heck of a lucky guy. Too bad for Mr. Repair man.
Changing the way I operate my rig to please the guy next to me isn't happening. If he complains about my 10 minute run time he has too short of a fuse IMHO.
