Default How Long do you guys warm up for?

I warm my brand new Hemi up at least for 3 minutes (normally not even enough) i'm @ 300 on the odometer.

BTW: I live in sunny California, its a bit chilly now but year-round over-all warm.

So how long do u guys warm ur rigs up for and what year rig is it?

Depends on how cold it is here. Its around 35 now....so basically just a few min. I don't drive it hard till the needle is moving up. The vents ae usually blowing out warm air in 3 or 4 minutes anyway.

I just turn the key, turn on the A/C , put it in gear and go. I have no real reason to "warm it up" here in central Fl.

I let it run for about two minutes in the driveway then drive slow thru the neighborhood (speed limit is 25mph anyway) until I hit the main road. I’m good to go then. Red

BTW, we usually don’t go much below freezing for the most part, an occasional 20 now and then.
