One of the magazines I get somebody wrote in and was taking about idling their diesel.

"...Electronic diesels have a computer storage register that track the total operating time and total idle time. It is a simple procedure to have a CAT or CUMMINS tech print it out..."
They go on to talk about they have a Freightliner and how "extended idling can void your warranty."

Ok so I don't have either of the above engines,but my question is--- does the Duramax (which I do have), have the same kind of storage register in the computer that shows time at idle?

I'm not wanting to start any "wars" about extended idle times,I'm just wondering!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If I remember some trucks you puch and hold the trip rest and the hrs come up. could be wrong
