I always thought diesel would ignite at a lower temperature then gas and have been told that it will cause detonation.

Other way around, compression in a diesel is much higher. That's why a gas engine needs a spark plug for ignition.

Nope. Throw a match in a bowl of each. Gas has a much lower flash point.

Does anyone have a pic of this fan bolt? Or can you point me to it? I have noticed a ringing noise in the morning while the engine is warming up also and can't track it down.....

Ya can't really see it. It is behind where the fan clutch is. The bolt come through the fan clutch, toward the front of the truck. To get to it you have to take the fa, clutch etc off and then an mounting piece.
