Do you let your TV warm up before towing?
Reason I ask, left campground last Sat. around 11:30 am. Outside temps were about mid 50's. I didn't wait for the truck to warm up. When you leave the campground you turn on a two lane hwy. No way to ...

In my 6.0 PSD I have a Ford high idle mod installed. It will take the truck to an 1100 RPM and I'll let her sit there for 5 - 10 minutes(this includes hook up time) depending on the outside temps. I know a few guys who have the same mod in their Cumins. My truck absolutely hates to be cold. No WAY I'd tow until she is up to temp.
This will avoid the common problem of "wet stacking". Any time I'm going to see extended idling in the cold or heat and need to use the a/c or heater I flip the switch and send her up again. It can only be on with the truck in Park and the E-brake on. As soon as you touch any of those or tap the brake/throttle it disengages. Also excellent for battery charging.
There is a 1000lbs of iron under the hood not including the transmission, it takes a while for all that to warm up.
My gassers, well I give them about a minute and off to the races. No comparison between them and the diesel.
