Norm on shut off?
Been wanting to ask this for awile now,
When I shut off the engine(temp at the 250 mark) is it normal for it to shake the whole truck? reminds me of a gasser out of timing.
If the temp is low as in the needel is still not moved yet it has no shaking at all.

Shaking is normal for Cummins power - but hopefully your engine temp is not at 250, that is not normal - if it is EGTs on the other hand, you have nothing to worry about.

Personally, I think it would help to know if your refering to the engine temp or the EGT temp.
If the engine temp is 250, you might have a cooling problem.
My 05 temp usually runs shy of 200 * for cooling and I get a slight shaking on shutdown along with a slight squeak of the fan belt.
Its done that since Iv had it, but I consider it a sign of pure power being stopped.

Mine shakes and squeals and usually scares people around it. I replaced the serpentine belt and it really squeals now...
I've heard the high compression of these motors being shut off so quickly is what causes the sound. Perfectly normal
