Ever since I became a diesel mechanic I have not been an advocate of an idling engine. It would bother me with my fleets to go to a yard and have 30 trucks idling away and no driver in sight for hours. The old school train of though has told us diesels like to run, well they do, but loaded is where they prefer. I have had several diesel service trucks and would only idle them if I needed to stay warm but would shut them down if I wasn't actually in the cab. I have run my 6.7 at low rpm's and idled it for some pretty lenghty times only because of the nature of the work needed lots of lights or real slow speed moving. In the mornings It idles (high with the EB on) for about a minute then I proceed to the freeway, slow speed driving into the parking lot cools the turbo down enough and It gets shut off. Try explaining cool down time to the wife, it does not happen, we have made hard pulls and exited then shut the engine off right away to make the pit stop, no signs of problems yet. Just my worth
