. . . you MUST warm up your truck for half an hour in the driveway every morning. I mean, maybe I’m missing something. I know I’m ignorant about cars and engines and stuff, but is there something inherently faulty about a diesel truck engine that one must leave the truck running for THIRTY minutes or so before getting in and driving away? Every morning at 5:30 a.m., the guy across the street gets into his truck, starts it up, then goes back into the house (maybe to take a dump or start a leisurely breakfast), then comes back out at 6:00 a.m. to gun it good before driving off. And he’s not unique! There has been at least one clown like this on every block where we have lived.
Is there something I don’t know? Do diesel trucks explode if you drive them without a half-hour warmup? Jeeez!
