An Acronym List Anywhere?

Is there a list anywhere for all the acronyms used so commonly like: KDP, TST, VP44, EGT and on & on?

Many of them I know, but I need a print off for quick reference so my brain can become Cummins (dodge) oriented!

Maybe one already exist and I just haven't found it.
Thanks.

That is real helpful. Seems the "spelling police" haven't read them all yet.

FAQ

DieselTruckResource.Com FAQ Listing : Definition of Terms : BFSC

Question: BFSC
Answer: BFSC Brake Specific Fuel Consumption - pounds of diesel fuel consumed to produce 1 HP for 1 hour

Seems like it should be BSFC or Brake Fuel Specific Consumption Can you tell I haven't anything to work on today?

I wish I had known that list was there a long time ago. I have been guessing all along until I figured it all out. Thanks!

OK, thanks. But I don't want no pop quiz coming up! Let me know if you get wind of one, I'm skipping out.
