extended ideling

ok, in talking to my brother-in-law who drives trucks for a living he told me that extended ideling of a diesel was an issue with the older diesels, but not with the newer diesels with computers. The reason being that the computer knows exactly what the engine is doing and if the egt's get too low, then the computer will regulate the fuel accordingly. Makes since to me, but ive heard alot of talk about wet stacking and extended ideling as being bad...

Watch your pyro at idle and tell me if the temp goes up at all. I don't think so. The pcm has no way to monitor EGT.

on the big trucks it matters they were made to run not idle, but the ton trucks were made to it doesn't bother them but do watch your temp gauge. ford makes a high idle control you can get
