How Many of You Warm Up?

[ScottyBoy]

I usually just hit my remote start and let it run for about 10-15 minutes, or till the remote start times out (it shuts off after 15 minutes).

I use my remote start 75% of the time and let it warm at least for a minute or two. I love my aluminum block the truck warms up so much faster then my 95 did.

Sometimes I do.....but other times, like when I have a call to go on, I start it, drive it 1 very cold mile or so, then shut it off. If it's REALLY cold, I leave it run at the station.

This is one of my pet peaves. Not letting the engine get up to temperature on cold days. I'll 9 times out of 10, go a little further just to accomplish that. Call me retarded, it's just habit.

ALWAYS! Make sure the needle moves at least halfway between 160 & 210 before I even take it out of park.

You have a point.

Most cold mornings I'll warm the truck up with remote start. Most mornings it's at least a couple of minutes running before we pull out of the driveway anyway.

i`ve been known to jump in the service truck and go, its not worth it tho, it takes a hell of a long time to warm up. stupid diesel. when your windows fog up your fwonked. plus it runs like a POS.
