[QUOTE="Fordguy100, post: 528008, member: 7933"] OP How far of a drive was it till you had to accelerate because traffic was catching up to you? Like just out of the driveway, our through some suburbs or what? And what temps are you talking about? Extended idling also does have some drawbacks in the form of wetstacking...although high idle, EBPV, etc cut down on that (or even eliminate that worry), it also takes a long time but for the sake of arguement its a bit of a worry. Unless its way below 0*F, I dont see the need for anything more than 10 minutes. But I do like to give them a 2-3 minute idle minimum, or at least some low speed driving for a couple blocks minimum. One thing I dont know, how long will they high idle for? Is it something that it coolant/oil temp related, as in when it gets to a certain point it kicks down? Or does it high idle until you start to drive it no matter how long? [/QUOTE]
