Re: Take your glycerine and get out!
I say cold burn such as extended idling, and cold weather startups. At idle, on a cold day, these trucks barely make 200-250 degrees pre turbo pyro temp. Thats too cold. Thats why they sell the AIC (idle controllers) to ramp the idle up so that you can get into the 300-400 degree range.
The powerstroke is just designed to get rid of heat. Huge radiator, oil cooler, cooling system design, etc etc. You could run a "cold front" grille in 100 degree heat and the truck prolly wouldnt overheat.
But at idle, on a cold day, the engine wont get hot enough and that creates problems.
It takes quite a long time of doing that tho, so I wouldnt worry about it unless you let your truck idle alllllllll night looooooong.
