Hello and thank you for the info re ballast weight and fel removal. I wil contact dealer for a fel operatong manual.
Another question concerning idle rpm.
Is there a proper idle rpm and duration time at that rpm ?
I was told by a buddy of mine that a low idle rpm can damage the motor.

Assuming a diesel is a diesel. Owned a NH for 24 years prior to trading it in for the BX. If not moving I would drop the RPMs down to the recommended low idle speed. Guessing sometimes for a good 10-15 minutes. Takes a good 10 minutes in winter even with the block heater to properly warm up. In the BX2380 manual the low idle speed is IIRC, 1350-1550rpms. Factor or dealer set the lowest speed at ~1500. Nothing I remember in the manual noting prolong idle as an issue. I guess it depends on what is considered long time at idle speed. But then you see trucks at truck stops running long periods of time parked.
