All this discussion of DEF, common rail injection, fuel pumps being cooled by fuel, etc., is very interesting technically. It's also convincing me to stick with gas powered vehicles. ;)
Just kidding, it really is interesting stuff, it will be interesting to see how the bugs get worked out in these new trucks and how they work out in the real world.
It's rather simple... see those gauges in your dash? See the red marks? Don't ever operate the vehicle in a manner that gets the gauges near or in the red marks. RED MEANS STOP DOING WHAT YOU ARE DOING to cause the needles to run near or in the red zone. Don't go there. It's that simple, not complicated. Running in the red has always come with caveats and warnings, in life. Nothing new here. It's just the dumbing down of America that is increasing.
Red means "don't go there", unless you want things to get expensive, complicated and broken on your piece of equipment.
Is that too hard a concept to grasp?
