im not sure were to put this but had this idea yesterday. could there be a way to use a remote start setup to start the car when coolant temp is "safe" and turn it off when it gets to "warm"? this would give me the ability to sleep more comfortable in hot/cold conditions and keep it more family friendly. comfort has lead to me taking more trips by myself recently.
when i go to races and what not my wife will need to go to the car for extended periods of time to put our daughter down for a nap escape misquitos etc. I have ac in my trailer but i don;t like sleeping in it and hauling a generator around is a pain.
I helped a friend install a turbo timer the other day on his diesel, and remeber when my dad bought his f350 van(diesel) it had a warning to not let it idle for more then 9 hours continuous without the ambulance package. how long is too long when idling and the ac on? I watch the gauge and it never really moves. but i turn it off every 15 minutes or so.
im not looking to overheat my truck but it seems cooling systems are way better now a days. with an electric booster fan and the proper precautions i don;t see why this couldn;t work, but im curious the best way to do it.
