Rotti--thanks for the link to the videos--I found them worthwhile.
With regard to the coking issue I raised in this thread, the message I got from the videos is that there are at least two basic issues to consider to avoid coking/carbon buildup in the turbo: (1) avoid "dirty" diesel fuel, especially the old low-sulfur diesel; and (2) put your engine under heavy load from time to time to get hotter exhaust gases that can help burn out carbon buildups in the turbo. Does this sound right to those of you who are knowledgeable about the 6.0 engine? Are their other things to worry about, like extended idling? And how much idling constitutes "extended" idling. While I don't just sit in parking lots with the engine idling, I do keep the engine running while I am leveling the rig and chocking the tires and getting ready to unhitch. Do I need to rush thru that process and/or shut the engine off while going thru the unhitching process?
