ok

i could see the reason as far as pto and elec winch. its been debated to no end.

on the 416 what type of output am i looking at? From the engine stand point, if it does put out a decent amount of useable power, is this engine driven? does it hurt it for extend idle periods or does it need some sort of AIC (auxillart idle control) similar to my power stroke?
does the alt / generator charge at idle? does the heater or a/c (if equiped) put out at idle?
