The United States Army recommends use of a Turbo Timer!
This is an excerpt from page 5 of the August 2000 Issue of P.S. Magazine, Preventative Maintenance Monthly:
<<CAUTION: Increase engine speed to 800-1000 rpm with the transmission in neutral and hold for 3-5 minutes to allow the turbocharger to slow down and cool off.
If you just blow into the motor pool and shut down without a cooldown, the turbocharger spins to a halt without oil pressure to keep it lubed and cool. Heat and high rpm help to ruin it way before its time.
Pay attention to the CAUTIONs. And have a nice day!>>
They're talking about the M1074/M1075 Palletized Loading System (PLS) and M1070 Tractors, but this applies to all turbocharged Army vehicles.
Now I know our turbos are also water cooled, but to me this validates what I've thought all along. A turbo timer is less than a hundred bucks--why risk ruining your expensive turbos for such a small cost?
Jspecracer7 should know what I'm talking about, right Sergeant?
