Doesn't :P, i'm actually out working in Marwayne which is north of Lloydminster about 30-45mins.

What are you doing?

not interested in electrical? Have some side cash for repairs, diesel parts are expensive!

Especially when you leave them running 23hrs a day.

The idling isn't the issue... Have you seen them goons drive???

Its either WOT or off.

Lol I dont drive like that, I baby my shit.

Most of the guys up in the far far north leave them running because the fuel is basically free and it gives them instant warm air and eliminates fuel gelling and hard cold starts. Idling is pretty much the worst thing you can do for a diesel.

I'm doing the same thing over in Sask. Just started my first year, it's a good trade. Lot's of work right now if you don't mind being away from big city centers.



Free if you have your company paying for it haha. Otherwise it's still more expensive than most places in the US.

I know a lot of guys who run there Cummins atleast 16 hours a day, on engines with 400-500k + kiloms

Why is it if you don't mind me asking? I really don't know too much abour diesels.

Well I just went and read up on it and it makes perfect sense.

Low rpm idling is bad for the engines.
800-900 rpms is fine depending on the engine, keeps the engine at operating temp and prevents cylinder wash down (unburnt fuel traveling past piston rings causing damage).
I run my truck all night to keep the A/C going all summer and heat now that the temp is dropping.
