I'm curious as to if I should take my truck out on a nice long drive once a week. This is with my truck in my sig below. I generally run about 25 miles per day towing a landscape trailer which weighs about 2000 pounds. I think I do about 5 or 6 stops per day, sometimes more sometimes less. The truck usually stays pretty close to operating temperature the whole day and regularly hits 900 degrees egt. It does idle for about 10 minutes everyday twice a day to hook and unhook the trailer.
Opinions? I just find after doing this for a week or even 3 of 4 days in a row the truck seems to run kind of rough at idle, versus after taking it out for a long 30-40 mile run it runs nice and smooth.
