STARTING AND OPERATING

197

NOTE:

If ambient temperatures are low and the

coolant temperature is below 180°F (82°C),

the engine idle speed will slowly increase to

1,000 RPM after two minutes of idle, if the

following conditions are met:



Foot is off brake pedal and throttle pedal.



Automatic transmission is in PARK.



Vehicle speed is 0 mph (0 km/h).



Applying the throttle will cancel fast idle.



Operating the exhaust brake at idle will

greatly improve warm up rate and will help

keep the engine close to operating tempera

ture during extended idle.

Engine Idling

Avoid prolonged idling, long periods of idling

may be harmful to your engine because

combustion chamber temperatures can drop so

low that the fuel may not burn completely.

Incomplete combustion allows carbon and

varnish to form on piston rings, engine valves,

and injector nozzles. Also, the unburned fuel

can enter the crankcase, diluting the oil and

causing rapid wear to the engine.
If the engine is allowed to idle or the truck is

driven on low engine speed drive cycles for

more than 2 hours, the system will automati

cally enter an emissions operating mode that

will increase the engine idle speed to 900 RPM

(1,050 RPM for Chassis Cab). While in this

mode, which is designed to help maintain the

Diesel Particulate Filter, the engine idle speed

will return to normal when the brake pedal is

applied. A small change in engine tone or a

slight change in engine performance while

accelerating may also be noticeable at speeds

below 20 mph (32 kmh). This operating mode

may last for up to an hour of idle time, or around

20 minutes of driving time.

Your truck may have been ordered with an

optional voltage monitoring idle up feature. If a

load is placed on the electrical system while the

truck is in park, this feature will attempt to

maintain normal system voltage by automati

cally increasing engine idle speed. You may

notice several consecutive increases in idle

speed, up to a maximum of 1,450 RPM, as the

system will attempt to utilize the smallest

increase in idle speed necessary to maintain

normal system voltage. The idle speed will

return to normal when either the electrical load

is removed, or when the brake pedal is applied.

NOTE:

For instrument cluster display messages

related to the vehicle's exhaust system, refer to

“Instrument Cluster Display” in “Getting To

Know Your Instrument Panel” for further infor

mation.
