correct idling r.p.m.
what is the correct r.p.m.'s for a 11.1 detroit motor to idlle, when running truck overnight? is there different r.p.m's for different temps?

We usually set ours to run at 1000-1100 if idling for extended periods. This works well to help A/C in the Summer and also with heat in the winter. This also prevents loading a cylinder with fuel eliminating cold smoke when you gas on it. We set 12.7's and 14's the same way.

diesel engines should not fall below 165 deg f during long idle periods pay attention to anti-idling laws. there is a free guide on; http://www.onan.com/images/apu/f-1715.pdf

I boost my idle up just enough to stop the loud rattles in my old Freightshaker - about 800 RPM does it. Can't sleep at the normal idle of 600 RPM :lol: .
