rrab1, I love mine. Yesterday we were out snowmobiling and when we got ready to leave we were cold. Fired up the truck and set the High Idle to about 1400rpm and the truck warmed up pretty fast while we loaded our machines

Fast idle

We have a different fast idle, set at 1225 RPM, and have had set for 12-14 hours at a time at a train derailment. This `has been both winter (keeping the puter warm) and summer (keeping the puter cool)



Usually go ahead and change the oil and filter when I get home.



Got 144k miles on '99 w/275 injectors and an EZ with no ill effects.

I have a the PS box too. . works great. It will set a code on your truck if you let it idle too long. . something about vech speed does not match RPM. The code does not make the check engine light come on and has no ill effects.



As for how long to idle your truck... I have idled mine for a couple of hours once when I took a little snooze while it was warming up. At work (in the Alaska oil fields) it used to be common practice to let the trucks run over night or longer to keep them running in real cold (-40 deg) weather. I know for a fact that I had a ford diesel at work that was not shut off for well over a month. I am not saying that was good for it, but it kept running for a couple more years till the company got rid of it. I would think letting it run for a couple of hours on high ilde would not be bad, I don't think I would make a regular practice of it, but once in a while would be okay.
