One of our operators keeps running our 5600 at half throttle. Will this foul the turbo?
What RPM is "half throttle"? Personally, I run my equipment at whatever rpm needed to get the job done without "LUGGING" the engine. (usually 1700 to 2200)Turbo fouling is usually a result of underloading the engine, or excess idling.

A diesel engine is built to run WOT 24/7 . I have started backhoes , excavators at -0 and as soon as they catch rev them up . Get them hot and quit ******* around with all this (HOW MANY RPM ) QUESTIONS . A diesel engine runs on heat , combustion , not a ******* sparkplug . I have cranked these engines in the middle of the night ,0 below and never had an issue . I see 20 ? Aday about this warming up thing . It is not going to warm up until you work it . DONE .
He would not be running mine cold like that !!Are you recommending immediately going full throttle on a cold started engine in 0 degree temps?
