Re: extended idling. Why not?
I understand the new technology and the delicate injectors, but why have I never read a warning from Ford/GM/chrysler/etc on extended idleing? You would figure someone (other than the patrons on this board) would say something. The best thing about all the Ford trucks I've had the pleasure of owning/driving for work have been extremely durable, I've been able to do whatever I've wanted to do with my trucks with very little consequenses, I constantly tow well over the weight limit I'm supposed to, I've had to pull trailers up steep logging trails to get to my sites, I've idled my trucks all day long on cold days for as long as I can remember and I've always been able to make my trucks last for a lot of miles, I had 282,000 miles on my 97 when I sold it in November, well, it has over 300,000 on it now. I'm just trying to get an explanation from somebody that has had a problem from extended idleing. As for the 6.4 powerstroke, I've read everything about these trucks and never have I read about damage to the engine from extended idleing. Have you read something about extended idleing on the 6.4?
