[QUOTE="dmd, post: 1505066, member: 1848"] From what I have seen there are only a few times it really needs to cool down: - Towing at speed and just pulling off to stop - Going up a grade and just pulling off to stop (like a rest stop) - Higher speed driving and just pull off to stop Most times when you stop someplace you do a little side street driving, or have to drive a little to get to the right pump, or the place you are going is residential and have to drive 45mph or lower. The slower driving usually gives plenty of time for everything to cool down. The only time I see where it really needs to cool a minute or so is when I pull into a rest stop right off the freeway when towing. Driving around town you can just shut it off like a gas motor mostly. I let it sit for maybe 5 seconds to make sure the turbo is spun down and turn it off the vast majority of the time. Largest factor is oil quality and keeping it serviced. A gauge is really for the upper EGT to make sure you don't melt a piston. [/QUOTE]
