Opti-idle question
Im looking for some insight from drivers that have dealt with the opti idle. I understand the way it works, just wondering if it keeps you comfortable in the heat and cold. and how long does it take you to get used to the truck turning on and off?

the hardest thing to get used to is the warning beep before it starts up.

Thanks Fredog, that beep sounds like they coulda done without it but oh well. Im glad to hear it keeps the cab cool and warm anyhow.

the warning beep is necessary in case someone is working under the hood and it starts up

Leave yellow brake button pushed in, pull out red buttom, bump idle up to 1000 rpm or else put a stick on the throttle to hold rpm's at 1000, and i bet you the truck will stay running!!
I sure wouldn't put up with truck starting and stopping if i really needded heat or AC. |
