Hay guys, my 06 on cold start up's in the morning my truck will idle way down drawing the amps clear down to 8 and then run back up to 14 and back and forth until the truck is warm.. Even when the truck is plugged in??? Any ideas???

Yep its just running a warming cycle. It's normal

 

Thank You!!!

 

Yup. Normal. Those grid heaters take a lot of juice.. Once mine warms up it stays at 15 amps too. I'm not sure that's good but it's been fine for 3 months now.....

 

Those grid heater pull a ton of power. After I installed my lights I took a quick drive to test them out. It was a cold night and the truck hadn't run for several hours. So I pull away and head down the street, flip on the lights, and about 2 seconds later the grid heaters comes on and kills the engine!

 

hmmm even in 15 degree weather when we had the snow storm a few weeks ago I would start my truck turn on the lights and my amp powers on its a 1000 watt xtant and my trucks never acted like it wanted to die.

anyone know why his would die??
