OK, as more people are getting "Turbo Cool Down" systems that shutdown at a specific temperature rather than some predetermined amount of time. I'm wondering what temperature you feel is best for shutting down. To clarify this let's keep it to PRE-Turbo monitoring.

 

i do it at 350, but if its after a long pull through the hills with a load ill let it sit at 350 for a min or 2 rather than just kill it when the needle hits 350. my set up cools pretty quickly. jiMMy

 

I like to let it get to 275 or so,but if i'm in a hurry I'll shut it down at 300.

 

I shut off @300*. Doesnt take long to get there since im driving un-loaded. Having the AC on increases wait time.

 

If I waited for 300 I'd be there all day. Most pyros aren't acurate at the low end of their range, hard to know what the temp really is.

 

300 for me, most of the time it's there already by the time I park. If not, I kick in the turbo timer and get out.

The truck I drive at work takes forever to cool down, sometimes as long as 8 minutes in the summer. If it's cool enough I shut it down. Most stops I just let it idle, I'm only out of the cab for 10 minutes or less most times. If I know I'm gonna be a while and it's too hot, I set the high idle before I get out.

 

Whats too hot to shut down at??

 

I wouldn't shut it down above 500 unless it was a real emergency.

 

Shut 'er down when the temp stabilizes and that is about 300.

I wait till I'm down to 300 or less. I do not work it hard most of the time, so by the time I am parked I can shut it down.

 

300 and under.

 

Right around 300 here.
Usually takes less than 30 seconds to get there.

300 & under takes almost a 1min when I've been on the highway

 

350 and under. Most of the guys I know shut it off when the wheels stop turning. They have never had a problem. I will still let mine cool down.

 

300...

most of the time its already there when i park it.... i dont get on it too hard, and after highway use i let her idle for about 5 mins, then shut it off...
