"Engine Over Heat" light actually works, uh. . . oops?

Hence why a lot of newer trucks and cars with turbos people install turbotimers. After you remove the key, lock the car, and walk away it runs to maintain oil whil the turbo is spinning down.

Not a lot of options that I can see with a cursory search for a turbo timer. Anyone have a specific brand they trust?

On my Subaru we messed with the ECU and got ot to work. I'll look around for truck ones.

Do some research. Is this a chronic problem with these trucks? I haven't seen it. Of course you don't shut down the engine from a full power and boost pull. Normally that doesn't happen unless there is a mechanical failure. And even then, that only happening once in a blue moon is not going to hurt it. I am wondering if your moeny can be spent better elsewhere.
