[QUOTE="44newman, post: 1384271, member: 17510"] Just read every post, and to my surprise no one has mentioned camshaft lubrication. Not sure about diesels but, a V8 gasser traditionally is lubed by oil windage (flying oil). So at idle the cam is not sufficiently lubed, because the crank is spinning slow enough to not throw enough oil to the cam. Extended idling can accelerate cam wear. I have read in owners manuals to NOT let your vehicle idle for excessive periods of time. As for your Fords, Ive heard to put them in "D" and leave it. Dont manually select your gears while towing.
