Excessive Idle

If I have a deleted EGR, do I have to worry about my "extensive" idle times? I did the miles divided by the hours and got 28. I assume that is "severe" amounts of idling according to ford. Is wet stacking the only problem?

If your going to idle for long periods of time you need to do the high idle mod.

Interested in idle info as well. I do insurance restoration work and spend a lot time sitting in the truck waiting on the adjuster... Not hijacking! Subscribed!

The high idle mod take care of those issues. in face ford installs it on trucks that idle a lot like EVAC trucks.

Yeah I have the mod on the uplifters how often should I flip up the switch? Just for a couple of minutes every hour? I do some construction where i need power from my truck for a couple of hours at a time.

Thanks for the info!

Soot buildup in the turbo and warchild will probably chime in with a couple of more. Something haveing to do with cylinders and unburned fuel.

If your going to be at idle for more than 5 minutes you should flip it on. or if you know your going to have to power something.

Yes you are correct. Wet stacking for sure but it will also save your FICM, altinator, injectors...etc when at idle (if you have the stock alt) you cant charge correctly under an electrical load....etc
