If all these facts are so well known, why do so many leave their diesel pickup idle, for example, the entire time they're setting up or breaking camp, half an hour, maybe more? When are all diesel going to come with an automatic shutdown on idle?
Not sure about the need for 1/2 hour idle when setting up or breaking camp but I like to run for a minute or two before moving my truck then after that I do keep it running while hooking or unhooking as it makes this process much easier ;)
