keep your diesel running

I remember reading an article about an electronic device that will keep your diesel running after you remove the key for a set amount of time (1 - 15 minutes) to let the exhaust temp cool down. For the life of me I can't remember the name of the product or the company that makes it. Maybe this is common and there are multiple manufactures out there? I don't know. Can you kind folks help me out.

Thanks,

bart

Could you be thinking of a turbo timer? A friend of mine use to have a remote start/security setup that allowed him to leave the truck running after pulling the key. Just had to set the E brake and flip a switch before "turning the truck off"

I think I found it - it's a "cool down timer" - - here's a link to one:
