If it's going to idle for more than 5 minutes or so, kick the throttle up to around 1200 to 1300 RPM.

Especially in cold weather, the wax in diesel fuel will accumulate in the cylinders at a slow idle. Many older diesels will also slobber unburned fuel out the exhaust in colder weather at idle.

Dodge mechanic had this to say about my bro's 06 Cummins, "If it's going to idle for more than 2 minutes, shut it off. Not designed to idle."
