About Starting My Rig.

The Orange light is telling you to eat more carrots.

 

I usually turn my key on and watch to make sure the gauges do their deal, then I start it. I have no reason for it, just a habit.

 

Always wait for the sweep. It goes faster after the full guage sweep. Time them, and see which one gets to the bottom first.

Seriously though, I dn't know, but I let mine go through it's little 'routine' before it gets a crankin'.

 

As a Yard man in LTL, we gotta hook 50-60 trucks a night for Linehaulers. We jump in and start 'em immediately and they don't seem to mind.
Though I prefer to give any vehicle a few seconds if I'm not under the gun.

 

My 2014 Cascadia won't crank immediately, it might take 5-6 seconds after turning the key to "on", that you turn to "start", and it cranks and starts.

 

I dont know why I laughed so hard at that.

If its cold you need the glow plugs to heat up a bit.

 

There aren't any glow plugs. I'm gonna guess you were joking..

 

Next you are going to try to tell me about blinker fluid when I know #### well my signals are pnumatic . You cant fool me, I went to a 160hr CDL school.

 

Pneumatic? Hell my turn signals are hydroboost so I guess you're running a better rig than me.
