Not 5w30?
And keep idle times low
I'm just saying that if you can turn off your truck instead of idling, like when waiting for someone to come out of the grocery store for 30 minutes because you want a/c. It's certainly better for the engine to put your windows down and shut off the engine than it is to idle at any rpm. Little sacrifices like this add up and do help. If you must idle your truck for work or whatever than you must.If that was true every truck in Northern Canada would tick. We Idle for hours when its -40 for months on end.
The real solution is upping the Idle to 750-800 rpm
There is a YT video of a Hemi mechanic that says the reason for the lifters wearing out / the cams getting a flat spot is excessive idling. I get why you do it, its freaking cold. Just saying. And this is newer versions of the Hemi. Mine dont have the tick (3rd Gen)If that was true every truck in Northern Canada would tick. We Idle for hours when its -40 for months on end.

but when its -40 you cant just shut it off if you are going to use it again soon. it takes too long to get warm again. work trucks spend all day idling. more frequent oil changes required to combat fuel dilution.I'm just saying that if you can turn off your truck instead of idling, like when waiting for someone to come out of the grocery store for 30 minutes because you want a/c.

That's why I wrote what I wrote. If you need to leave it idling then do so, if you can avoid it, avoid it and gave example of leaving it idling for a/c for 30 minutes while someone is grocery shopping and you're waiting. Then I even wrote if you need to leave idling then leave it idling, and even wrote "for work". I thought I was clear. Maybe not.but when its -40 you cant just shut it off if you are going to use it again soon. it takes too long to get warm again. work trucks spend all day idling. more frequent oil changes required to combat fuel dilution.
you just didn't mention anything about heating. i wont idle my personal truck for ac in the summer but sure will for heat in winter. and the hemi heats up fast compared to my powerstroke work truck but obviously thats a different gameThat's why I wrote what I wrote.

So this is more a Hemi issue than other engines?There is a YT video of a Hemi mechanic that says the reason for the lifters wearing out / the cams getting a flat spot is excessive idling.

I will and have idled in the summer for AC but it's only for about 30 min tops ever.you just didn't mention anything about heating. i wont idle my personal truck for ac in the summer but sure will for heat in winter. and the hemi heats up fast compared to my powerstroke work truck but obviously thats a different game
i like that ford has included a high idle feature when ambient is below around -20c it ramps up the idle to around 1k until some sort of coolant and/or exhaust temp threshold is attained
Far as I know yes. I don't keep up on any Chevy's or Ford's. Not interested in them.So this is more a Hemi issue than other engines?
