It sometimes has a sqeak when shutting down. Is this normal?

From the world of gas, im not sure what nosies this diesel should or shouldnt be making.

I dont know exactly what it is but you do hear a squeak in a lot of diesel trucks when you shut them down.

mine almost always does and I always listen for other 6.0's in parking lots and what not, and all their trucks did as well.

maybe a belt? since diesels run so much compression i would think when you turn them of they stop pretty abrupt right??? only think i hear when i turn of my 6oh is the turbo still spinning

Yeah the diesel stops so abruptly that sometimes the belts will chirp. Especially if they're worn. Cummins engines in the dodges were most known for this, they always chirp when they shut off, there was actually a belt made specifically to stop the loud chirp but I dont think that even solved the problem.

Got it! Thanks guys. In the world I come from, a little chirp or burp means something is really wrong with my timing or fuel! lol.

I am really enjoying this thing!!!!
