Cold = quiet?

[HoleshotHolset]

Ever notice how quiet your truck is when you 1st drive it after a cold-start? Mine's REALLY quiet at just above idle through 1500rpm with no real load on it.....

ALSO! Why do we NOT have any clouds of steam/etc. like the gassers? (not that I'm jealous... just curious. )

Matt, Now WHY are YOU concerned with steam???



On Saturday, the only thing you were concerned with is smoke

It has been my experience that our diesel engines (especially the 24V's) get loader below freezing. Very loud around zero and then pretty quiet at -20 when first starting.



You will also see steam (smoke) below -20 at all times. Even when fully warm engine.



Everything smokes with it is really cold.

Smoke is NICE!

My guess on the lack of steam is the cooler exhaust temps that diesel have. . but thats just MHO.



You want to make it sound really wierd... fire it up without waiting on the grid heaters... my 24V is real quite for just a little bit if I do that(had a gasser flashback one cold morning... yuck). Other than that my properly valved IMPROPERLY pumped truck is rather loud on fire up but its cool

Matt, unless you sent me a pm or e-mailstating otherwise, it is kind of hard to take you seriously. Your just the type (like me) that enjoys goofing around
