Being part of this forum has been and will continue to be quite an education. My experience with diesels prior to the Dura max was with Listers and Duetz electrical gen sets in Alaska so am a bit clueless with my new machine.

None of these machines had turbo chargers so I'm wondering just how they work and how best to utilize it (if I have any control over it) while driving. My understanding is it increases air flow to the engine there-by increasing power - I heard someone mention about the turbo charger 'spooling up' - its been fun cruising all the articles here not to mention feeling the power of this new engine - I'm excitied to learn more about it - thanks - Murf smile.gif :confused: smile.gif
