Searching... Idle Timer

[TW720HVY]

I have been searching for awhile now and I am looking for the several page link that talks about the 6.7 and all the technical information about the new diesel. I thought I read in that information that there is or will be an option for an "idle timer" for shutdown cooling.

Can someone point me back into the direction of that link or a link (if any) that talks about an "idle timer" for the 6.7.

Thanks for your help.

only idle timer i know of shuts off the engine after ten minutes of idleing....it's an emissions thing and is only on the xl and xlt trucks...the assumption being that these models are mostly work trucks and "they" (epa) don't want engines idleing for long periods....this information from the ford source manual

The idle shut down is a option and not EPA mandated in a 6.7 like it was in over 14,000# GVWR 6.4's.

Thanks... I thought I remembered reading something about that. I wounder why it is not an option for Lariat or with Reverse Aid System?

The Engine-Idle Shutdown Module is installed in the same location as the Reverse Aid Module and the Reverse Aid system is standard on Lariat or better trim packages.

I'm pretty sure that idle timer just shuts the truck off after a set time. If you remove the key it will shut down normally.

Are you referring to a cool down timer? hose items typically allow you to activate the shutdown timer for a period of time and then you remove the key and lock up.

On the timer I put in my GMC I would push a button "X" number of times for an "X" number of minutes I wanted the truck to run. I would then pull the key, exit and lock up.

If you stepped on the brake after key removal it would immediately shutdown (theft prevention).

The company I got mine from does not have them for the Fords, but I have a request in.

That is exactly what I am thinking about.
