Cooldown idle for a turbo seems much longer than warm up time. When watching my EGT gauge after towing on the highway it take take quite some time for the EGT to drop to a reasonable level before turning off.
At odds with Dodge who says not to idle the 2007-2010 6.7L for long periods because of soot build up in the EGR and turbo. Then on another page telling me to idle in order to cool the turbo.

But the OP is not ranting about *cool down* time at 5:00 AM..:W
BTW - Dodge is correct!
The "long periods" referred to, is when your DW is in the market and you sit in your p/up in air-conditioned comfort with the engine idling.
However, if you ran it hard, under heavy load - turbo cool down is SOP for *any* diesel.

And, long before '07-'10, Dodge was blaming long idle times for various problems.
Including an excuse (attempt) to *not* provide warranty repairs due to same.
