2024 Ford F350. How long should you idle your truck. Why you should. Fluids. Metals. After treatment

[@markking3531]

I agree. I have a 2017 F250 6.7 diesel with 460,000 miles. I always let it warm up, even during the summer. Idling should be kept to a minim when ever possible. But the engine needs warmed up, especially before pulling a load.

[@ShannonJanzen]

I totally agree

[@bartthomas2895]

Paul, thanks for tackling this issue. There’s many opinions. When first starting out I manually shift my ‘22 6.7 Cummins so I’m not loading the engine with low rpm’s due to the early shift points. I think one reason the older engines with manual trannys lasted longer is the operators kept them in the 1500-2100 engine range. Lugging contributes to high egts and more soot in the egr system and dpf

[@JustinKingOffroad]

I like the coolant to be at 100 too, i also try to get the transmission to 100 but it's usually lagging behind the engine temp.

[@foehammerE419]

Good info. Agreed on warmups being important for our bodies too. I just tore a bicep doing curls cold. PTL it's a minor tear.

[@theantiqueactionfigure]

I ruptured a bicept while cooking a steak. Bicept snapped like a rubber band just from twisting a salt grinder!

Rental cars in the winter. Start engine and immediately drive it to work in first gear. Second gear on the highway if needed. The closer to redline the better. Warms up really fast. Makes up for not being provided with an ice scraper.

[@drewk5929]

I love the high idle mode on my d max warms up quick

[@DS-TRUCKS]

I'm here! So excited to hear your perspective!

[@pddieselpower]

Thank you for your support

[@alvinmann7675]

Excellent video and info for us gear heads, Paul. Appreciate that. Maybe a video on parking your vehicle from a drive to save the turbo from a quick shutdown. Happy Holidays to you and your family man.

[@drewk5929]

The new thermal stats I put in helped a heap to warm up my truck

[@mackwoodcock7484]

I always appreciate your take. You know cause you do it. Also the transmission hates the cold. Go slow when it’s cold or the shifts can be hard.

great video paul!

Check out Optilube XPD, the packaging, labeling and dosage - ironically are near identical...plus the cost.... staying with stanadyne formulas for my 6.7 powestroke and diy potentiometer high idle mod..

[@blakew1026]

Yah I agree with you. For mine as long as its about like 35 or higher and I'm not hauling then it sits for a minute and gets driven easy till it warms up. But if I'm towing then I let it sit and idle for about 15 minutes and then get going. Then we have our CAT skid steer at work and it will idle for like 5 minutes and then it gets 1/4 throttle till it hits 100f then half till it gets to 140f and once it hits 160f I will give it full throttle. Unless it decides to do a stupid regen for the DPF 3 minutes after starting it when no matter how cold it is and sits at full throttle. I don't know why CAT would decide that it should do a regen when ever it feels like even if the colant is 30f. Makes no sense to me

[@laneblount9888]

I let my 4th gen Cummins warm up and idle. When I’m running errands and am gonna be less than 10 minutes in a store I let it idle, especially when it’s really hot or really cold outside

[@chadgardnerdds3197]

2021 F250 Tremor with no problems yet. CCV seems good but worries me. Pulling a gooseneck and 75HP tractor is the only thing that will get it to regen in Louisiana winter bc it won’t reach the temperatures required no matter how hard I drive it especially after flushing and refilling the coolant at 80k miles. I have to sit in driveway and hold accelerator until it gets to 220° F then drive it 20+ miles at 70mph to get it to passive regen but I feel like I have to change the oil every time. How do I get it to high idle?

[@davidjaskiewicz3461]

Working in a cat dealer parts department the tier 4 , 4.5 emissions are killing these machines. Nothing but def manifolds, pumps, sender unit issues every day. How about doing a video on driving these emissions trucks? What you can do, rpm range, gear selection to try to keep the dpf from building up soot level so fast? I drive my truck 60/40 city , highway and the dpf percentage seems to go up 15-20 % a week.

[@henryhenry5897]

Mine site an a shop 68f I do pull 10k trailer but I do creep out of it and role out of town for 1-2 miles at 25mph and once I hit highway I’m at 120-140f water and I slow accelerate till I hit 60 and after couple more miles has full temp

[@Seedavis397]

I have an old 7.3 ford diesel 2002. How long should I warm up?

[@6.0Mike]

This discussion is useless… if you’re running these trucks with emissions. The forced re-gens are destroying these motors.

[@troyboyblack3630]

Only re-gen when driving now

[@mackwoodcock7484]

I agree but the new scr system on my 23 is way better than my 16. You don’t even know it’s happening other than smell if you’re paying attention.

[@Eric_V410]

No expert but my opinion is no load get going after 30 seconds and drive very light. I have an 05 cummins and i dont go over 1300 rpm when warming up. If your loaded then theres basically no way to drive light so let it warm up to abt where you said but remember trans temps to

If it's leaking from the plastic pan, get one of the Banks or similar aluminum ones and a new ford gasket. If not, I've seen other brands with porous casings.
