Idleing

It says in the owners manual not to let the truck idle for a long time. :'( WELL........ what is a long time??? I am wondering if I can let it idle, of a morning before work, for 15 to 20 minutes. Will this hurt anything? What would be the longest time to let it idle? ???<br><br>Thanks<br>Grampaw Bill

Re:Idleing

Just dont run outta fuel Ideling 15 -20 no problem its long idles that build oil in the turbo....that why at truck stops that the 18 wheeler raise the idle up when they stop to sleep and it will maintain engine heat better with the Idle raised to around 1200 RPM
