How cold to leave running ?

Twice in a row you've been froze up?

 

I left mine running last night and got a clogged dpf

 

When was the last time it was cleaned?

 

Not sure but my shop cleans every 150k, not sure how long since last one

It regened okay. Took about an hour and all my lights are off

 

Ok I was just curious. I idled my truck when I first bought it for about 3 months until I bought a APU. Now only in extreme cold which hasn't been a whole lot. But so far haven't had a cleaning. I certainly haven't put any where near those miles either

 

The new FLS will shut down after 10 hours idle. And will require Regen. I think it was 5 hours for second round.

 

RD gets plugged in if its gonna be -10*C or below, the granite never got plugged in, but would start (very angrily) down to -30

the feed mill i worked at would run the trucks all night after they were loaded if the forecast was -25*C or colder

 

I know my #### Volvo won’t start Tuesday. I’ve been running my old day cab and it’s been sitting a week. It’s plugged in but I would bet 20 bucks it’s gonna take 2 cans of ether.

All my trucks start angry when it’s below 0.

 

before the in frame on the RD, it took up to 3 guys 15 mins to get that ##### to light below -10*C

......and the EPA would be DISGUSTED at the amount of smoke that little 11 litre could make when it did light off

 

I must just be lucky. My truck sits outside every night. I treat my fuel with half a litre to each tank 135 us gallons if it below -20 celsius at night. I generally don't do it till Christmas. Last year l hardly did it at all. My block heater's on a timer so it's on for 3-4 hours before l start it. Starrs up easy and quiet that way. Water temp is at 150 after a 1/2 hour idling at 900. I do cheat and turn the bunk heater on when l fire it up. Old Pete is getting drafty in its old age
