    I'm idling at 1k rpm with water temps around 200 degrees but still have some slobbering going on. Was contemplating putting a winter front on for idling over night and completely close it up. My fan comes on at 217.

    Will the fan still be able to keep the truck from overheating when it's activated on/off even with a fully closed winter front?

    Maybe slide a big piece of cardboard in with 4 of 5 holes the size of an Apple. Should be ok for being parked

    Get a winter front withe the zipper that gives you the options to either close up 100% or less
    Then you can close up according to temperature outside

    With no load on the engine, except the alternator, if it’s cold enough outside to need a winter front, more than likely you will be running the heater inside to keep warm, that draw of heat away from the engine, heating the cab and sleeper, will more than likely keep the engine fan from kicking on very often.
    As for the ‘slobber’, it all depends on the engine. I remember on the farm, using our biggest diesel tractors in a pinch for a job that required extensive idling, at summer temps, they still would ‘slobber’.

    This why I hate idling at all, doesnt matter the temp, if irs idling at low or no load most will slobber, not much you can do.

    Cylinders not burning all of the fuel injected into the cylinders, causing what appears as oil leaking from the exhaust, turbo, etc. Caused by cylinder temps being too cold.

    Very common on 60 Series Detroit.

    Do they also have retarted idle for emission. I know the older Mack E-7s with the Bosch P7100 had retarted idle. I plugged the pro link in one time and it was only 8 degrees. It would slobber.

    Will a winter front do anything? After changing it back to full mechanical and setting the timing at 18 degrees it doesn't slobber even with a 170 T stat.
