Hey off topic but do you still need a fox gas tank?

15-20 mins of idling every morning? what a waste! i'd also be worried about oil getting to the top end just sitting there. i start mine, let it idle for 10-15 seconds, then i'm off.

i've always heard not to warm the car up by letting it idle, to warm the car up by driving it, i assume the logic is so that you don't take off thinking the car is warm and beat on it when only the motor is warm, the trans and rear end are still cold.

i let mine run for 20-30 seconds(or long enough for the idle to drop some) and then take off but like others said i am easy on it till it's warmed up most the way

My uncle had a brand new Expedition stole out of his driveway doing the same thing. He went out and fired it up, came out a short time later and it was gone !

I guess I just don't have a problem with being cold for 10 minutes or so. My '66 fires right up and away I go riding down the street. Cold leather and all. It usually warms up by the time I get on the highway.

Why would oil not get to the top end? I have set the lash on stone cold motors that shot oil all over the fender. It should oil the top end no matter what the temp is or the oil is too thick for the climate in which case youll be needing new bearings before long.

Remote start and the truck turns on the heated seats for me when it's cold enough.

Needed it this morning

If I am reading this right, then it is only talking about being on the street. What about if it is parked in your own driveway or maybe in your garage with the garage door open?

Maybe this is the wrong section? Per the bold part above, it looks like this is just referring to the main traveled area, like the street or highway, as in blocking traffic. I don't see where it talks about engine running or not runing, either.
