For me it is a safety issue to high idle my truck when I start it in the morning.
Did you read the article that I posted? After a bit the engine won’t get any warmer when it’s just sitting idling. It won’t get any warmer unless you are driving it. It makes me wonder if a lot of people are leaving their trucks idling longer than they really need to. Just sayin......
