Cold Starts
I have an '07 5.9 CTD. It was cold yesterday morning about 44 degrees.
I turned the key waited for the coil light to go out, then started it. The grid heaters kicked on/off a few times then the engine went up to about 1000rpm's.
I didn't touch anything to increase the idle, I don't think that I have the "high idle" feature enabled on my truck.
Is this normal in cold weather to automatically idle up to about 1000rpms?

I can tell you don't live in Calgary!! That is a normal feature of the 3rd gens, but it still is not enough to warm anything up other then the oil here in Calgary, it is a lot warmer here now then it has been in a couple weeks and it is currently -19 (-2 F). The truck won't even start warming up untill you have driven for atleast 10 minutes
