Ram CTD jump start question

Is turning off the jump vehicle when starting the CTD recommended only for diesel? Or for gas also?

And are you supposed to disconnect the cables also?

I had never heard this before.

Standard practice here in the frozen north where we jump start a lot. It's to save the donor vehicle's ECM/PCM/etc etc. I have personally seen them get fried when people leave the donor vehicle running when boosting/jump starting a dead frozen vehicle. I won't even do it that way anymore. I have a lthium jump pack and an older SLA battery based one for boosting frozen cars.
