I would not be concerned with starting an engine that has been sitting for that amount of time, the engine is new enough that it should have no problems quickly building oil pressure and lubing everything well as soon as it spins over. I am not sure where you are but right now it is about 10 degrees F here, so I wouldn't choose today for the first time to start it in 2 years, unless you just really needed it, it would be much easier on you and it if you could wait til a warmer day.

On another note, I am not trying to talk down about the OP I just have a question that has really been bugging me.


lostmyname said: (quoted from post at 22:36:01 01/02/10) I bought a complete salvage 2007 Freightliner chassis/6 cylinder turbo Cummings and Allison trans.


I am not trying to be mean here, but why do so many people thinks it is Cummings instead of Cummins? I have never quite understood why, the name is plastered everywhere and still people think it has a G in it. I am just interested in why so many people think it is spelled that way. It would be different if it were just a couple people, then I would not be so curious but, every time you read a post on any forum (except for an actual Cummins forum) some person will always type Cummings. At first I thought it was just a slip on the keyboard that was leading to the misspelling and then I heard someone pronounce it that way in a conversation and it really got me to wondering. Does anyone have any ideas why? I noticed when typing this that the spell checker underlines CUMMINS as if it were spelled wrong but not CUMMINGS, maybe that has something to do with it? I dunno, that surely doesn't explain people saying it wrong. Maybe someone can explain the reasoning behind the error and kill my curiousity.

Today's Featured Article - An Old-Time Tractor Demonstration - by Kim Pratt. Sam was born in rural Kansas in 1926. His dad was a hard-working farmer and the children worked hard everyday to help ends meet. In the rural area he grew up in, the highlight of the week was Saturday when many people took a break from their work to go to town. It was on one such Saturday in the early 1940's when Sam was 16 years old that he ended up in Dennison, Kansas to watch a demonstration of a new tractor being put on by a local dealer. It was an Allis-Chalmers tractor dealership, ... [Read Article]
