? for drivers who idle at full speed

[Fredog]

why do you do that? and why do you have to park beside me?

[Orangetxguy]

They must be testing your ability to withhold violence!! Cuz...I sure know that they have been testing MINE!!!


Oh for a good nights sleep....at times!!!

[freebirdrfd]

maybe because it idles at a preset r.p.m. DUHHHHHH.

[Jumbo]

What are they idling them at? Seems to me that they have it set at about 1200 rpm's.

[Jumbo]

I had a Western Express park next to me last week and his air dryer spit every 10 seconds, The whole fricking night.

[Syncrosonix]

it could be due to a parked regeneration. if not, and it goes all throughout the night, i'd be pissed off, too.

[Jumbo]

There were about 5 Swifts in Alabama parked next to each other all idled up. I dont think they could have all been regenerating at same time, At least they were bothering each other that night

"who is he?" my name is slug. i've come to killl a couple minutes. whats up with the way, that everybody gathers around each other, so they can steal each others sound? if its all about gettin down with the get down, how long i gotta wait for these fools to sit down?

Swift, party of 5....your shower is now ready.


Just kidding.

[Jackrabbit379]

Wide open? So, are they sitting there with it smashed to the floor? Seems like a good way to thrash a motor.
How fast are they idling?

I love the sound of a set of straights, when idling at about 1100. Oh that is such a sweet sound.

yes, to the floor, or so it sounds like, I would say if they were going it would be at least 40 or 50 mph.

they park and then they run the engine at full speed and hold it there all night, NOT at a preset idle. read the question again... DUH

[Jackrabbit379]

Are you serious??
Have they lost their mind???

Good grief. I've never heard such a thing.

That would be one Awesome convoy!! In matter fact, hey i know exactly who it was all lined up!!

Syncro
Dorby
Cdswan
Fordpwr and his trainer
and of course the one, the only, with him leading the convoy!!!!

Yes folks you guess it.. THE KEV

All driving ungoverned. big hp swifty's passing any and everybody while hogging the left lane all the way down I-59!!

I think they ran Big Diesel off the road and that's why he hates Swift!!

[LightsChromeHorsepower]

why do you do that? and why do you have to park beside me?

And why the f#+K are you doing it when it's 65 degrees out?

When I was pulling tanker I would regularly nap at a particular vista point. There was a driver from another company would show up at least half the times I was there and do the fast idle. We're talking Nor Cal, 10 miles from the ocean. It never gets too hot. It never gets too cold. I think it's like a GF I had who could only sleep with the TV on.

[jd112488]

well,i bump my idle up to keep the oil pressure up. but only 900 or so.

[Malaki86]

bumping up the idle a bit keeps the fluids moving better, as well as the ac compressor putting out colder air.

One of those "highly" trained Swifty wonder wheel holders tore the hood off one of my trucks at the Petro in Laramie Wy last week, while participating in the Swift Backing Special Olympics......... He and his so-called mentor won the medal that day....
