That holds true for older engines, however most of these newer ones do not do well with that procedure. Our 15L ISX and X 15 Cummins specifically state in the manual to not high idle the engine. Doing so will inhibit a passive re-gen and cause problems there. These engines have tighter clearances, and do not slobber oil either. The 15L Detroits we have came to us with an auto elevate feature in the ECM, and it would automatically elevate engine idle when needed. Two years later Detroit came to us and had the auto elevate deactivated and said it was counterproductive to what they were needing the engine to do. The theory they have is that when running at an elevated idle, the gas flow is increased, as is the fuel rate. The combination of this adds particulates to the DPF quicker, and therefore shortens its life. One line of work at our business uses a lot idle time, it is a killer on these units. Oddly enough, our Ford Diesel Pickups handle this much better than the bigger engines. It is not unusual for us to get 300,000 trouble free miles or 16,000 trouble free hours out of one of our pickups. Im not sampling data on these experiences from a small number, we have over 200 pickups, 225 plus truck tractors, and around 300 engines on trailered equipment rangine from 99 HP Kubota industrial engines to 3000 HP Cats and Cummins engines.
