I was reading through the Operation Manual and noted that it says not to let the 6.2 run at idle for extended periods of time.
1. What is extended amounts of time?
2. What damage can occur?
In the current cold weather I typically let it run for about 15-20 minutes in the morning to get the ice off and cab warm but in the evening when Im leaving work I start it about 15 minutes before I think Im going to be leaving but there have been an occasion when I was seriously wrong about my departure time and it ran at idle for up to an hour. I have not noticed and problems but I also was not looking for any problems until reading this section of the manual.
Thanks for any input!
