Stop and go traffic and engine damage ?

Quoting Michael from the thread http://forums.thedieselstop.com/ubbt...o=&fpart=1

"I know with my 7.3, F*rd says not to idle for more than 10 minutes to prevent engine damage."

Just bought my first X a week and a half ago. Living in NJ I have to deal with the occasional mega traffic jam during which sitting at idle for 10 minutes or more is not an unusual occurance. Is there a mod that can help with this issue or does Ford really expect me to keep shutting down the engine (and the AC)?. This would not be fun on those 95 degree days surrounded by trucks and buses on the NJ Turnpike. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bleh.gif[/img]
