It has a warm-up mode, after starting I turn on the exhaust brake in neutral. Then it kicks out when the engine has warmed up.
Total waste and detrimental to the motor. Idling newer diesels is really hard on them. Oil pressure up and stable put it in gear and go. Idling returns you exactly 0 MPG.
Yeah, well that's in contradiction with what's in my owner's manual so I'm going to be ignoring your advice. I also have to idle at least 3 minutes before shutdown.
