Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) warm up and cool down

[azcoyote]

I have recently purchased a 2001 Automatic 2WD. I have checked the owners manual and fourd some info about warm up, but nothing about cool down time. I live in AZ at 5000' and experience temps from 15° to 100°. My drive home from town is about 15 miles with 2000' uphill route. How long should I allow for cool down to preserve the turbo?So far I don't do or plan to do any heavy towing.

get a pyrometer and shut er down after pre turbo temps get to 300 degrees. If no pyro I let mine settle down for 45 seconds to 1 minute then turn it off.



Take care

On the issue of warmup, I make a set of winterfronts that helpthe engine warm up 10 min faster and stay warmer while in cold conditions... These panels can be on up to 65 degrees outside.



See link to the classifieds for the panels and pics.
