So it has been in the single digits here on minneapolis and I have been hearing different things about warming my truck. I plug it in at night on a timer so I figure I start it scrape ice and go. I can't bring myself to let it idle more than 5 min even if I'm leaving work and it's been sitting not plugged in. Am I safe in thinking that as long as I start seeing the oil pressure gauge start moving its safe to drive? I always circle the block before getting on the freeway to make sure it's got a little heat. I just don't see the point in letting it idle.
I ask because all of my neighbors seem to think they need to idle their dodges for 20 min or they will grenade...
