Absolutely fabulous \/

Are there any warm up considerations for the diesel? I mean ... it's not just as easy as a gas burner to jump right into and ride away is it. What does the owners manual say about it?

The ceramic glow plugs don't take too long to cycle. It was around 76* Thursday when I bought it; tonight it's supposed to be down in the lower 30's; may not make much difference as it's garaged. The wait-to-start times are a lot less than my 2003 Dodge RAM 2500 Crew Cab 4x4 Cummins Turbo Diesel.

That is one very nice KJ. From looking at the picture you posted of the engine, I like the overall layout of it alot. I also like the big plastic cover most companies are putting on the engines, that protect the vitals from dirt and other gunk, and they're easy to get off.

Nice looking KJ. Be sure to update us on how the next six months goes.

I wonder how that small diesel will do up North here where temps drop down to -40 in the winter (or lower)???

The engine block heater and 0W40 Mobil 1 Full Synthetic (factory fill) should help get it going & keep it going. The quality of winterized diesel fuel would be more of an issue in my opinion.
