6.4L Upgrades and Aftermarket - EngineUpgrading or adding OEM or aftermarket equipment to your 2008-Up Super Duty truck with 6.4L Power Stroke diesel engine. Please confine discussion of topics in this forum to those items that are specific to the 6.4L Power Stroke engine.
I was wondering about this. My solution was to use the remote start. You can press the RS button with the truck on and turn the key to remove it while the engine still runs. I can then go about my business and either turn the engine off myself with the RS button or just let it shut down on it's own with the engine idle shutdown on the RS, which I think will shut the truck off after 10 mins of sitting.
I have a Striker TT turbo timer from Painless performance on my 7.3. They do not have instructions in their manual for installing it on a 6.4, but i'm sure with a test light you could easily find your connections. This timer has settings for 0,1,2,3,4, and 5 minutes, with a 55 minute option. Each time it defaults to the previous setting of 0-5 minutes, and 55 minute is on demand each time.
Pretty simple hookup. Break sense wire, hot "in" wire, hot "out" wire, key on wire, ground and then a wire for accessories. (I have my AC as my accessory) Comes with everything needed, including T-taps and zip ties. No drilling or cutting wires.
I'm sure somebody could chime in and give you what wires you would hook to.

I have used the TLS on my 2002 since 03 without problem. It is a plug/play with only holes needed for a momentary switch and a off/on switch. It can be set in increments of 1 thru 10 minutes or up to four hours. Time is set with momentary switch and off/on switch then set and key removed from iginition. Engine can not be started with key until switch is turned on (hidden). It can also be used to pump up oil pressure prior to starting engine. An accessory jit was available allowing you to use the emgerency brake to activate also but after installing felt it was a waste of money
