Sooo, someone who has little to no experience in trucking is giving advise to truckers. What could go wrong. Did he mention that in many states it is illegal to idle trucks and you can be fined? Also the more you idle 2007 and newer trucks with the DPF emission systems the more it is going to cost you in maintenance. The way the newer trucks are you can not bypass or skip the maintenance, the truck will give you a warning light and then derate and shut down. Then you have a tow bill and an expensive shop bill.
Thank you! That worked. It was too cold to sleep
thanks
Somehow I got a no idle shutdown overruled message and now my truck will stay on. But I don’t know how I did it
Sure wish I could figure out how you did it
Probably has to do with the temperature outside. If it's too hot it will let you idle if it's too cold it will let you idle
Your average semi truck burns 1 gallon per hour idling
