first diesel

I purchased a " see bottom" and this is my first diesel.

I have been reading the fourms for about 3 months and finally became a member. I appreciate all the help you have given, and the help you guys give me in the future. Please view my other posts and help if able.

I wish to learn as much as possible from you about the diesel engine, especially the "BOMBING".

The diesel bug has bitten me, as I am looking to repower one of my other trucks with a cummins.

I have never been a dodge fan, and I doubt i would have puchased this dodge if it didnt have the CUMMINS. So at least for now i like dodge, but i hope not to get into the problems others have had with dodge dealerships.

1st gen has me as a new member, and conversions has me searching for info for my next cummins power machine.

TY,
J
