Kdmann64 05-16-2007, 07:58 PM does my truck have one? i got out of my buddies powerstroke, and it did something and it kept running. i thought he had added a remote start that would let the truck keep running, he said it was a turbo timer and that my truck has one too. does it? what is it for? woody240 05-16-2007, 09:22 PM Nope jollyrogr 05-16-2007, 09:36 PM Your truck doesn't have one unless you add it. All it does is let your truck idle for a few mins before shutting down - purpose being to cool the exhaust temp so the oil in the turbo doesn't cook and wreck your turbo bearings joe_zrt 05-16-2007, 10:05 PM i have egt's but no turbo timer. what's the magic number your looking for that is cool enough to shut the truck off and prevent damage? duramaxin14 05-16-2007, 10:07 PM Can someone point me to the right place where i can get one i need one very bad Tom S. 05-17-2007, 09:26 AM You can kill two birds with one stone by adding a remote start. The AstroStart not only allows you to start your vehicle remotely, you can also let it run after a long run and it will shut off automatically. PM MaxPower for details - he handles them and is a great guy to deal with. jdugie123 05-17-2007, 12:30 PM ya most remote starts have this feature and you get the alarm as a plus 6speedduramax 05-17-2007, 09:23 PM I have one mine is from SP diesel. It has a 1,2,3,4,and 5 minute setting then it has a "convience" mode where it will run up to an hour so u can run in the store and leave the truck running but take ur keys and lock it up. If anyone would try and steal it as soon as u touch the brake it shuts off. I like it. underPSI 05-17-2007, 09:51 PM Save your money if you're just after a turbo timer. It usually just takes a mere 30 seconds of idling to properly cool the turbo. Enigma Man 05-18-2007, 12:25 PM Why not Kill 3 birds with 1 stone and buy an Edge / Juice programmer. It comes with a Turbo Timer, EGT Gauge and you can add power on the fly! Thats what I have with my truck, I can set it up to shut down either in mins or by temp. woody240 05-18-2007, 12:42 PM Why not Kill 3 birds with 1 stone and buy an Edge / Juice programmer.

When I use that feature all hell breaks loose. I get codes that have to clear at startup and I regularly get the "shift range inhibited" message. Seems if I put the truck into gear while the codes are clearing it gives that message. | ||
