I have mine turned off. Mine is just a grocery getter. Don't pull with it very often and I don't race it. I keep a pretty good eye on my gauges so that's why I keep it turned off. That's just my personal preference...
I bumped mine up 5 or 10 degrees from what the manual says and leave in on performance all the time. I hard wired mine so it its always on when truck is running. I also dont push her until she gets a little warmed up so i guess I could shut off the defuel feature and just use my right foot lol

Forever off.
If I towed, I might use a trans temp defuel as an alert.
The "factory" defuels are so arbitrary and easily eclipsed by what I consider perfectly safe tuning on some trucks.
My gig is that if I'm all the way off in it, I don't want anything pulling me out of it! LOL
On the 4th gen dodges, defuels are dangerous and typically cause more problems than they prevent.
I grew up on 12v's, so when I came over to electronic trucks, I stuck with the mantra of leaving it on constant kill

I used to run cold coolant defuel until one morning I really wanted to merge quickly and the truck didn't want to comply...

My defuel setting involves my eyes and right foot. No other protection. If I hit a spike for a split second in don't wanna listen to my minimax beep at me and defuel.
Of course with that being said I just drive my truck, don't hotrod it or drag race or sled pull or street race or do WOT RUNS.... lots of highways and enjoy my ability to pass as needed and pull the occasional trailer.

I misread,
sorry mine is on hot coolant temp

I have pretty much all of mine set just above where they normally run. I don't look at the gauges that often under normal driving so if something is wrong I want to know it asap.
