    It's a great feature. As posted above, once these conditions are met it will activate. I can feel the heat after only a couple of mins :thumbsup:

    -Engine running
    -blower fan "on"
    -Temp set to max hot
    -Engine coolant 65F or lower
    -Outside temp 50F or lower

    I wait for the oil pressure gauge to stabilize before driving off.

    Too bad these trucks don't have oil pressure and temperature senders, I would love to watch that on the ultragauge.

    I have coolant temp, voltage, transmission pan and torque converter temps set up.

    Oil pressure and temperature would be awesome

    That's the one thing that worries me when I remote start my truck using Viper Smart start as I can be quite a good distance from my truck . Not knowing oil press or water temp these two indicators would be nice to have on the app

    Winter or summer (AZ) I start the truck, have a Vitamin C (smoke), a cup of coffee, get in and drive slow(ish) till full temp.
    In the past on company truck (Chevy 1500), get in, brake and gas pedals down, start truck, let brake go and drive...since was a Chevy...:luvya:
