Hill was just under a mile long but about 1/2 of it is 8% and I was heavy. Did a cool down until my manifold was down to 300 degrees (about 6 or 7 minutes) and just sat there doing nothing for a bit. Along comes a car carrier and stops behind me with a full load of cars. Before i completed thinking the sentence "I wonder how long he'll cool down" he had switched off. I always find it amazing how much more abuse a company truck can take over an O/O truck.

I shake my head at that shi#t too.
Agreed, bizarre how company trucks get the crap abused out of 'em and they keep right on tickin...
If I tried that with mine, it would probably blow up next week.
Warmin up and coolin down is much cheaper. It's worked for me so far, so why change it now?
