I just got this new truck with work and when I started in the mornings and let it run for 10 to 15 minutes like I used to with the 6.2 f250 I had it's still cold in the truck he suggestions on making this thing warm up faster?

 

Drive it. There is no comparison for a gasser warm up time to a diesel. It isn't going to warm up until you start creating EGT's. Drive it and it will warm up. A winter front will help as well.

 

Midnite, X2 what Andre said
Put it in gear and go !!

 

My 6.0 psd will warn up in 15 min enough I have to turn the heat down when I get in.

 

Plugging in the block heater will help some... This is a key reason why Ford offers the Supplemental Heater for the 6.7 equipped trucks. I wish I would have gotten both the supplemental heater as well as the heated seats. I blame the heated seats issue on the ignorance of my dealer which believed that when you bought a turck with the Lariat options, it would come with the Lariat Interior..

Not sure what closing off the front is going to do for warm-up.. If the thermostat is shut, there won't be any circulation through the radiator.

 

Drive it. Let it run a minute or so then start out slowly. That is your best bet.

 

My 6.0L warmed up faster as well. Just a different beast. Supplemental heater is a must for cold weather locations.

 

I agree with, "Drive it." Don't be crazy and keep the RPMs reasonable and she will heat right up. It is nice having a heated steering wheel in my truck, but just Drive it.

 

Headed seat and the supplemental heater!


Plug it in and that will help as well.

 

Randy ....I agree, it makes sense. However, through experience......a front cover makes a big difference.

 

Drive it... As I found out that supplemental heater, heated seats, and steering wheel is awesome. My tuck heats up faster than my wife's car does. Because of the supplemental heater a remote start will help get the interior warmer, but usually I remote start it as I am heading out and once eveyone is in we go. Within a couple of miles I am turning down the heat.

If I let it idle, the motor won't warm up and isn't contributing to the warm air coming out of the vents.

Probably your cheapest solution at this point is a 12V heated blanket to sit on.

 

what temps are we talking about here.....mine warms up in about 10 minutes of idling and its been -18to -24 celsius for about 8 days.....or -11 Fahrenheit

All I have is the block heater plugged in

 

I haven't plugged in the block heater yet. Been around -10 - -15 the past few days. I may need to start doing that

 

The two cooling systems in this truck work well. The downside, this truck does take awhile to warm up as you found out. I don't even turn on my heat if I start and go until the oil reaches 100.

 

I have the automatic climate control. I leave it on auto. It will increase as the motor temp increases.


Plus I have the heated seats and it would have to be on for that to work.
