I hope I am asking this in the right forum but I have two MVs this question pertains to. I have never owned a diesel engine and within the last four months, I am an owner of two. I hate to hear an engine sit idling needlessly and at low oil pressure, so I have always shut gas engines off even if I only ran it 30 seconds or so to move it just a few feet. I have done the same a few times with the 6.2 in the CUCV as well as just a minute or so to raise or lower the bed in the 8.3 in the M929 dump. Do these short run times hurt a diesel or is it ok?
Thanks in advance,
Jim.
