USCP used to have an old LTD Station wagon with 1400 miles on it when they retired the car. It was used as a car to block an entry for trucks. It didn't have a reading for engine hours, but it had the transmission replaced 4 times! If I had to guess 24x7x52=8736 hours a year x20 years is 174,720 hours!!!

@matthostetler5422 Месяц назад

I've had a few work trucks over the years, most were ram 2500s with a cummins. I started the day around 4-5am and finished as late as 10-11pm. If I wasn't pulling a skid steer with 3 or 4 buckets and a generator down the interstate or a lease road that truck was idling all day long. I had to keep our computer in contact with the main office and it was a place to get out of the weather for the guys not running a machine. I never gave it a second thought until I got a truck with DEF. That thing felt like a blow torch during what I assume was a regen. I personally would never buy a used lower optioned 2500 or 3500 especially if it's a white truck. I know the abuse I put mine through daily and I was extremely kind to my trucks compared to most guys. We had a guy that ran his truck in 4wd ALL the time. Beautiful summer day rolling down the interstate at 80mph locked in 4wd. Had an old timer we called hill billy, his spitter was the cup holder and/or floorboards. Ash tray was pretty much the same as the spitter. I guess it was his form of fireproofing the interior. There was a reason he was driving a 10 year old truck when the rest of us got a new truck every 2 years.

@jasonschaeffer72 Месяц назад

Another thing to realize is that people typically change the oil based on mileage and not hours of operation. Which could be the equivalent of changing the oil every 25,000 miles when the mileage is only 10,000 miles 🤔

@Black__hoodie I know a lot of people (and companies) that only goes on mileage. They can't seem to understand that you can have only 500 miles on odometer and have the equivalent 15000 miles on your oil. If it idles all day every day but only travel 3-4 miles a day like in refineries or chemical plants. I've seen trucks with less than 5000 miles and over 10000 hours

@JeTTRod Месяц назад

My '95 corvette has a method for turning the engine over while cutting off the fuel supply, to circulate the oil and fill the oil filter after changing the oil without actually running the engine until you want it to run. All it takes is to hold the gas pedal to the floor, and hold the brake pedal while turning the engine over with the key. As soon as you let go of the gas pedal it allows fuel to flow and starts the engine immediately. It's also how we used to deal with a fuel flooded engine back when they were all carburated...

@heith85 12 дней назад

I think they have that on some newer Toyota with the stop start feature and it gives you a warning that after some many starts it says you need to replace the starter. Kinda lame

@miketollett768 8 дней назад

So Moroso made a oil accumulator that you could hook to your fuel pump solenoid relay when it comes on it primes the engine with oil turning the key on and off, you hear the fuel pump come on at that very moment it’s injecting oil into the engine that has accumulated in the oil accumulator under about 50 pounds whatever your engine produces and it saved it for you, with the solenoid, you do that a few times wait till your oil pressure rises then you start the motor

Yes... BUTTT. It's not quite that simple because everything has idle hours on it so it's not like the truck is going to be valued at 147,000 miles. what you want to look more to is total engine hours versus mileage and ideally you see something over 30 miles an hour average.

One specific truck, a 6.4 power stroke has a little over 100k miles and 15,000+ hours on it. That's a total of 550k-600k miles on that thing. Mind you, it's a 6.4.... YEAH...

Idling is bad for your engine in general. When you are at the idle RPM’s, your engine doesn’t get fully-lubricated, as it would at operating RPM’s, causing increased friction on the components, thus increasing wear and tear.

Let's say that you service your construction equipment every 250 hours. And probably should service your trucks close to that.

Great job and nobody tells you that, they are too busy saying it is a diesel it's not broken in, or it's got low miles for a diesel. I will agree ask a Police officer, EMT/Ambulance driver, or a service truck owner that has a PTO for a Air compressor or crane. This young man is right about that Idle hours. Drive one with little idle hours and one with big time idle hours and then tell me what you think about what they run like. Other ways you can tell by looking around underneath the hood and truck itself. Great evening and enjoy your weekend.

By that calculation I got 630,000 miles out of my 09 crown victoria cop car with >12,000 idle hours and a hair over 300k. If that holds true that car was the best $4k I ever spent in 2014 (@ 110k/7k and no I'm not kidding on the idle hours added)

@markt538 Месяц назад

So do the idle hours factor into the total hours or get added to that?

Great tip. Ive always wished all vehicles had hours in addition to mileage.

Why don't 4 wheeler trucks have the high idle option like semi trucks?

This is less of a concern if your diesel doesn’t have DEF, DPF, EGR, or any other EPA-mandated engine destroying equipment. 👍

Idle hours do more damages than hyway miles especially on V engines when driving under load the pistons are centered in the cylinders on Idle the weight of the pistons just rest on the cylinder walls this is why the engine oil in a V engine turn black instantly because of fuel bypass compared to a straight 6

Fuel bypass ?????

i have a 3406e glider with 1.2m on the motor, 570k on the chassis, and the chassis computer reads near 50k idle hours. i know what you’re thinking and yes, it runs like a 10 still

We had superdutys in our mine. Mechanics killed a few motors by idling for 10 hours straight with the heater running. Now the ram trucks shut off if they're left idling.

This is some useful information

@samg5543 Месяц назад

Is that idling in Park or total idle hours? That is different

I remember going to a ford sanctioned cookout at our local ford dealer for all the local powerstroke owners and the head ford guy told us something like every hour was 250 miles of driving so that had to be calculated into oil changes on the 6.0ls.... i know all my machines i change the oil at 250 hours no katter what .caterpillar calls for 500 hour plus oil changes but oil is cheap i have always had good luck with 250 . And ive had 5 six liters and had good luck with all of them , ran an edge juice and never did a single head gasket

That's a good thing if cold weather is in involved you have to warm up

@nativeoutdoors1780 Месяц назад

To put it into perspective this truck averaged 24 miles an hour it's whole life, so that's strictly city driving

I know that with gasoline engines, idling is one of the worst things for them. I also know that it’s a bit different with diesel engines, but I wonder how much.

@kskesler Месяц назад

30 miles per hour is generous on a powerstoke. Idling is so hard on these full emissions engines

@ahmadshaabanabu-yousseff911 4 дня назад

Idle hours can not be equivalent to actual mileage and actual engine load, A lot of idle hours on a car is better than a car that was not moving or parked Engines need to run moderately to stay in shape
