I had a 1/2 ton Dodge with a Cummins. The one thing you know or learn fast with a diesel is you change the fuel filter often. Diesel engines are nearly indestructible if the maintenance is done right at the very least the fuel filter.

I've seen a diesel pulled out from the bottom of the bay, scrubbed clean, and installed in a new boat. The old boat caught on fire and sank. The old common rail diesels are damn hard to kill.

Diesels need 3 things: fuel, oil, and coolant. Do not ever skimp on those 3.

Air helps a tiny bit as well.

You don’t supply the air. The list are the things a diesel need from you the operator.
