cold start beliefs
So i have been doing some research and some people say its bad to just let your truck idle up to warm temp. I figured it was good but they said just need oil into the turbo so just baby it until it warms up something to do with not getting fuel i guess to the fuel pump not sure. What are your guys input. And it is a 12v if theres a difference.

Ok so i came to the conclusion i need to someway and somehow get a high idle switch in this thing are just use the classic seat to pedal stick and keep it at about 700-800 rpms. But now i know to do this on the first start up and while long sitting and maybe sleeping in truck how about in bumper to bumper traffic do i need to worry and keep trying to keep the idle up are no. Also is this mainly for cold weather starts are at all time.

High idle solenoid is a good idea. I just start it, run it at about 900rpm for about a minute and go. Never had a problem. Just baby it till it's warmed up, that's what I do (although i live in the middle of bfe where there are no stops and nobody carse if i putt down the road at 25-30...)
