Entity Bradley Flubacher spoke thus: > Proper idle setting is over 800 RPM.. 850 I think? Well, I don't know what the "proper" setting is. Probably whatever runs good. I know there is a RPM setting where vibration is at a minimum, this is important to me with extended idling. I think bigrig drivers like an idle up around 1200 when sleeping on it, maybe to keep the fluids flowing...AHEM anyway, I always wished the lever had a pull knob speed control similar to the Cold Start knob to set extended idling just right (at that sweet spot). Better yet, a solenoid controlled system (fly by wire). I wonder if the new diesel EuroVans have that feature? Rachel http://www.gnarlodious.com
