Hey guys (and gals), I am on an RV forum and they have a section for Cummins powered RVs. There is someone on there that for what ever reason seems to try to contradict anything I post there. Here are some of his statements (in bold) about idling:
"X2, The only thing you will hurt on Diesel @Idle is the Turbo, kick it up to 1000 and your good..... let er run
"
"Quote:
"Not enough oil at idle"
"Quote:
The clearances between rod and crank, crank-journal are a lot less than a turbo, the turbo actually floats in the oil as it spins....."
You can read the whole thread here: http://www.irv2.com/forums/f123/idling-question-229301.html
Then there is a discussion about air filters (again, his posts are in bold):
"I use Donaldson filters, good price at Truck it parts a.com, K & N Air Filter ,a little more $$ but ya get what ya pay for."
I countered with this:
"You may want to read this: K&N Air Filter Review - Debunking the Myths (and why OEM is better)"
then.....
"
Never had an issue with K&N even in my off road racing career, but, I have read several threads on here about OEM air filter causing diesel engines to fail as a result of allowing dirt in....., keep using the OEM ones."
Read that thread here: http://www.irv2.com/forums/f123/couple-questions-about-isl-370-a-229696-2.html
What I want is more info to counter his statements. Some of you are more "articulate" with a keyboard than I am. Help me show him the error of his thinking.
