So, if you are driving down the road and you see black smoke coming out your exhaust you are giving it too much fuel/not enough air to fully combust. Diesel when it doesn't burn fully gives off a black/dark smoke.Diesel does not use a spark to ignite the fuel, it uses heat to ignite the fuel, most from air compression (from the compression stroke) but in colder weather when the engine is not warmed up, you need to add heat with glow plugs.Well, I've had a WHOLE 2 years with a Diesel. Some rules of thumb state for every 20 degrees you drop your transmission temperature, you double the life of your transmission, Transmission (Thinking of adding) - Fluid temperature of your transmission, used to remove heat from the transmission and provide lubrication.Plus, the stock temperature gauge has "A LOT" of interpretation as what is too hot or not. Takes a long time to cool down, and thus if you are driving long distances, and/or up mountains (or worse both) you need to make sure that you avoid overheating. Coolant - Overall temperature of the entire coolant system.Longer periods of high EGTs can even cause cylinder heads to warp. Too hot and your turbo can cook the oil in it s bearings and then go "bad". So, once you let off the accelerator, the temperatures can drop quickly. EGT - Current temperature of exhaust going through the turbo.So, avoid going above 14 PSI in stock turbo. More air + more fuel = more POWER!!!! Too much boost can damage turbos and engines. Boost - How much air pressure is your turbo pushing into the intake.I put in most, since they measure different aspects.
