[QUOTE="TLyons90, post: 1432225, member: 27252"] So I am still trying to wrap my head around this and hoping you guys can shed some light. Upon helping a buddy purchase his last 6.7 and purchasing my current 6.7, I started trying to do as much research as possible on the "high engine/idle hours" situations. From what I gather from most everybody and such is that it is 25 miles multiplied by the number of engine hours to get your "true" mileage of the vehicle. Most everything I read was how bad it was to have high engine/idle time. Therefore leading up to my question. What with these trucks makes high engine/idle hours bad? Is it the emissions crap that these new trucks have that make it bad? Once fully ******d both ***/DEF & EGR is it fine at that point and not as big an issue? What exactly is it? For me personally I start any diesel I have ever owned up before I leave and let it warm up for at least 10 mins. After that depending on the drive/distance of where I am going and how long I am going to be away from the truck before jumping back in it to drive away, I would either let it stay running or shut it off. Thus all this adding to that time and possible issues. Hopefully you guys can learnt it to me so I can understand more. Thanks!!! [/QUOTE]
