ECT fulltime?

I really like the way the truck runs with ECT on but never remember to turn it on. Is there a way to reverse the switch so it is in ECT mode when it starts and only reverts back to normal when you push the ECT button?

Or, is there a way to permanently keep it in ECT mode?

Drawbacks to fulltime ECT mode?

Thanks!

There was another member that used his ebrake release button to select ECT. Kinda fancy.

 

. . . . or you could just remember to push the button. It's part of my routine. Start the truck, push the button.

Does the gas mileage change much with it on?

 

Mine drops about 2mpgs from ~19 down to about 17s

Make sure you get a locking gas cap lid too lol... The

 

In Western NC, I always have gotten 18+. I use it all the time under 60.
As a retired airline pilot, it's never been an issue to check switch positions before start and shutdown. That includes the AC fan switch!

I agree, the climate control switch, entune power switch, wipers,all off before power down.

 

I'd definitely do the mod if I didn't have to see the light when it's on

 

Pull the switch and kill the lamp circuit?

Just start it with one of these. Hook 'em Horns! It works by the way.

 

There was another member who was working on a ect on incline mod to enable it when past a certain incline. Was a killer idea. I'll find the thread when I'm back on a real browser
