Question for those that own both Diesel and gas trucks?

Yes,I let the fuel pump come up to pressure.

I don’t always wait on my Cummins, it will fire right up unless it is really cold!

I was still doing this a year after I sold my diesel!

I hadn't waited for glow plugs for 7 years with my 6.7 Ford diesels. With my 2017 I jump in and push the start button and it doesn't always start cranking imediately....I'm having a hard time getting use to that.

My biggest problem driving the wifes 1500 chevy is reaching for the exhaust brake T handle on the shifter on my Cummins/NV5600 tranny at every stop sign/red light or a down hill.

Push the button twice and it should start. My Ram does. The second push bypasses the wait to start.

I try to remember to wait for the glow plug dash light to go out before turning the key each time. Sometimes I forget though. Why not follow a procedure that increases the odds of keeping the engine up to snuff?

Yes!

Diesel truck, and a gasoline engine car. Even in the car, I turn over the key and wait, then realize, I don't need to. It's a habit. I always go ... "Oh Duh!"

I usually use the remote start for a cold engine. It will figure out what to do.
