DILLIGAF this is a rule of thumb in our northern climate. In cold weather I do not drive my truck until the engine get below 1000 RPM, at least. Few minutes running before driving is best.
Sure, thanks for the suggestion. BTW where I live starting the engine at dusk in winter at -40° is usual. I say dusk but it reminds me that the sun only rises at 10AM...
I am wondering if the idle time includes time accumulated at stoplights at 0 MPH or if the transmission must absolutely be on the park position... just asking...
This pic reminds me rail yards when I worked as a signalman for the CNR. It was freaking mostly at night because some a**hats frequently neglect to apply handbrakes on parked cars. Even a little wind could make a boxcar moving, fast, and deadly silent...
Here's my ruthless barn cat named Peanut. Chipmunks, squirrels and all other pest eliminator. He never misses a single one. He always behead them off...
Had a Harley like this. It was indicating 50 miles before out of gas and inside a second the stupid indicator fell to zero and then inside a mile I fell out of gas... :(
I start it and always wait the engine get under 1000 rpm before shifting to drive. In the winter I do the same and with the block heater it take not much more time to get under 1000 rpm.
