Anyone install one? Like it, hate it? Afriad wife my just shut down the CTD wtih out letting things cool down as she demostrated after a test drive on a 06Mega2500.

love it

I put on the BD X-monitor with their cool-down system. If your truck is still stock, you probably didn't hurt anything unless you had just shut down after climbing a long hill or were towing something heavy.

Check into the one you plan on buying and see if it will throw trouble codes. I bought an Isspro unaware that it only powers up one wire to keep the truck running. Without the other "run" circuits powered you can get trouble codes. The solution was to connect separate circuits together, a solution I find unacceptable. I just got my hands on a heavy duty 12volt dc relay with 4 separate sets of contacts and will use this to keep all the required "run" circuits hot until the temperature is ok to shut off.



Imho the ideal unit would let you choose to shut down based on time or temperature. It would also have a timer for the temperature mode that would keep the truck from running indefinitely. I like the idea of going through the ebrake so the motor shuts off when the ebrake is released. And, of course, it would include all the connectors and wiring to keep all the necessary run circuits hot and separate as DCX meant them to be.

I believe that the BD one with their monitor does just that but since I'm still a wanna be CTD owner I'm not sure.
