    Idling the 6.2L diesel engine?

    I was in study of head lift but now wet stacking, another thing to study. Now I see why the backup diesel generators at the power plant needed to be put "on-line" once in a while to load them up.

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    Does one use the inserts with the ferrules when using the air brake line? Or is the original type fitting better with the air brake line. Can the original type, Parker Hannifin nut sleeve 61HD fittings be used with air brake line?
