Diesel Mode

I watched this whole video and learned some new items about my truck and the history of the 3rd Gen. The thing that caught me off guard was Diesel mode. Minute 3:02

He was joking dude! Tongue and cheek!

 

I did not take it as that. Makes since that the engine has this feature.

 

Just found this in another thread. https://youtu.be/nSB65kClSXM

 

It sounds like a diesel when idling, and that is about it…

 

It's been a known thing; there's a ton of videos on the subject but here's one that gets into the specifics of it and how it works

Gonna be the grammar guy. Not to be a jerk.

 

it doesn't run on diesel fuel. he's saying it sounds like a diesel engine when it goes into the cleaning cycle.

 

In what world would an Atkinson cycle gas engine ever have anything to do with diesel

 

A loose comparison with a modern diesel that enters a regenerative cycle (normally done at highway speeds) to burn off crud in the diesel particulate filter.

Yes, this is an altogether different process but for some people "tHeY sEe It As ThE sAmE tHiNg"

 

You sir are legit

 

he made a couple of technical mistakes, but overall a very good explanation.

 

A friend of mine loves to say that 2 stroke gas engines are "basically diesel engines"....we don't talk often lmao

 

I don't know if your comma omissions are intentional as a joke, or if you need help as well.

 

Your friend is partially correct. Take the detroit diesel for example, its basically a 2 stroke.

 

I fully understand, but a 2 stroke gas engine doesn't achieve combustion in the same way as a real diesel engine...kind of like saying a rotary gas engine is "basically a diesel", too.

It's not correct.

 

Plus, we're in the 3rd Gen section.

All bets are off.

 

Well now I feel attacked.
