The ect holds it in lower gear longer, as for the turbo it wont give a great kick of boost but without it it wil be very sluggish

Snap.

As above. The ECT Power button just keeps the revs on the boil a lot longer and you wont notice the turbo do anything when it kicks in. The truck just goes and that's it. The weight is a big factor here.

Ah! thanks Garry for that
Theres one of them turbo timer thingys under the dash, would you use it ore leave it turned off?

[Predictable Bob]

Leave it turned off - if you actually use it as intended then you're actually breaking the law cos you're not supposed to leave a vehicle running unattended

Personally I would use it specially after a long run, I now have one on mine built into the alarm system, and after blowing my turbo I use it.

Just do what I do and sit in the truck with the engine running for a few minutes.

Hm, i had the alarm fitted a few weeks ago but i don't think hes wired it to that..might go back and have him do it...don't want to blow the turbo..These trucks cost enough to run as it is don't they?.......Thanks anyway Garry.

If the turbo timer is part of your alarm system then it should be just a case of setting it up within the alarm programme, if it is a standalone turbotimer it may not work with the alarm

I think its a standalone one..Took the mother in law back home down the A38 to Derby yesterday, so when i got back i turned it on for 4mins and locked the truck up with the fob but didn't hear the alarm bleep.

It's like a nitrous oxide button isn't it? Press it and get 500bhp for 10 seconds.

My turbo timer was wired through the handbrake switch. If I pulled the handbrake on before switching off, the timer was activated. If I just put the transmission into P then switched off, the engine switched off straight away.
