A recent report from CarMD stated that an increasing number of drivers are ignoring dash warning lights; the number one warning light being a Check Engine light. The report went on to say that rising costs in auto repairs is a main reason for this. I understand that costs are gone up everywhere the past few years, and not just in the auto industry. But I feel it's more than that.

Tim Krueger’s venture into diesel engines began in the early 2000s. With no formal diesel education, Tim and his brother dove into the diesel industry purely out of passion and curiosity. His brother’s initial work on a VP Cummins truck piqued Tim’s interest, prompting him to purchase a brand new LBZ Duramax in 2006. From there, he embarked on a path of self-education, delving into EFI live tuning and refining his skills through hands-on experience.
