My 2007 6.7 is sitting at my brother in law's house while I'm away for work. I asked him to drive it once a week with the turbo brake on. He said he doesnt feel comfortable driving it, and that he's just been firing it up and letting it idle for 10 mins once a week for the last month. I wont be back to drive it til June. How detrimental is it for the VGT to not be flexed, and how bad is it for my motor to just sit there and idle once a week til June?

 

going to do more harm than good with a bone stock truck.. I would leave it and just keep a battery tender on it. It needs to be driven and for a good run. not just 10 min once a week. its going to end up clogging up the DPF..

 

Thanks Rooster. I'm saving up for a mini maxx to do a dpf delete. I'd just be better off keeping the battery charged rather than letting it sit at idle?

 

Absolutely. If you can keep a battery tender on it, this will insure that when you get back in June, the batteries wont be dead! I would also run some sea-foam or some other Fuel stabilizer in it as well.

Is the truck stored in a garage or outside?

I went with an EFI Live Auto cal that supported the deletes. Been working perfect, not even a hiccup in 15000 miles.

 

Ok thanks. It's semi outside, its under a carport. Should be sheltered enough for a tender. I'll tell him to get some seafoam too. I've been reading online and i think I'm leaning more towards the EFI programmer from what I see on the forums and online
