With recently updated calibration, this method won’t work on some trucks. But it’s always worth a try😉 Please don't forget to like if it helped you 👍

Release breaks on tractor in neutral and have the trailer brakes set

[@bigmase82]

Man you are greatly appreciated bro!My bunker heater is not working and I’m in Montana and it’s freezing in this mf!You just saved me!

[@nofac3ricky]

Doesn't work on my 23 either😢

[@WickedOne-1979]

Dude you do realize that its the ECU and special software to do that! By default that is the shutdown. The reason you can do it is because your company has it disabled in the ECU on high idle! It does not matter how much I idle mine it turns off in 400 seconds! So to stop it from turning off I just don’t set my brakes. On super cold days here in chicago I’ll use two wheel chocks and if I have a trailer i use the trailer brakes! Sorry but I’m tired of the EPA thinking it’s ok for a driver to be in a truck with no air/heat but it’s literally against the law to do it to a dog! And there it is the Feds care more about Dogs than truck drivers! The ASPCA/PITA cares more about Dogs as Animals than Humans! Don’t leave that dog in there but go right ahead and do it to that truck driver!

I do realize I own a shop:) with “don”t set brakes” it also doesn’t work with every truck. Whatever I’m showing here would work in 70% of those trucks and safer then not setting brakes.

[@Gixzer04]

Release the tractors brakes and it does the same thing but doesn’t waste fuel. Make sure you are hooked up to a trailer obviously.

[@Brandon-kp5to]

It worked!!! Amazingly thank you you the man im su scribing❤

[@PENAYAJONES]

This worked for my 22. Ty

[@yozh5836]

How I miss my Volvo after only 1 week driving this piss of wood. And can’t even sleep properly with this idle.

[@galaxyochoa3647]

Thank you very much

[@65mphcowboy50]

Doesn't work when you have optimized idel. Truck ecu bypasses the rpm and holding down the pedal. Can even be in gear with breaks in and still will try to do a no idel shutdown. Say thank you to California emissions that's why it happens 😢

[@juanescamilla2213]

👍🙌 TY

[@Nahhhhhhson]

My company’s trucks can’t do this, but they are set to not shutdown when it’s below 32

[@robemiller59]

It don't work on the 2024 and newer trucks

[@Gigi_youtube17]

No it doesn’t work on my 2024 cascadia

[@123mehat]

Don’t work still shut down

[@Esotelien]

Some companies lock these functions out.

[@CheetahRepairServices]

Then you can take it to the shop and shop can remove it. They can’t let you freeze in the truck.

[@yozh5836]

It’s not F working. I tried so many options, it’s shutting down in less then an hour. I’m waking up soaking F wet and not getting good sleep. F this freighliner. My Volvo on repair that’s why I drive this BS for 3 weeks. 👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻

[@joshuahall3622]

Same here did you figure a solution yet?

[@robertr8197]

Soaking wet? Sounds like you have a bigger problem then idle shutdown

[@koty6244]

Same sht

[@Fee-Fi-fo-fum]

Set your trailer brakes and do not set the truck brakes. This should allow you to idle. If it’s cold enough where you are concerned about your trailer brakes freezing, then leave air supplied to trailer brakes for 15 min after parking to allow the brakes to cool before setting.

[@jedironin380]

@@robertr8197 It's probably over 70 deg. while he's trying to sleep. I'd be soaked and overheated, too!

[@Twon4real]

Doesn’t work

[@coleIFS]

Optimized idle

[@123mehat]

I am bobtail

[@marcingodlewski9954]

Its in the ECU. You would need to pay a qualified mechanic to override it

[@CheetahRepairServices]

If it’s not password protected or locked then you can turn it off with DiagnosticLink

[@pachukoking2963]

But why you wanna keep it running?? Turn the God damn bunk heater on it will keep the engine warm. I live in Portage WI I know what I m talking about.

[@donwilliams2876]

When your apu goes out and you don’t feel like going to the shop in the middle of a load on the road. They can fix that shit on my home time. I’m dealing with it now

[@donavonferrell4729]

This is not working for me. I have a brand new 26 foot box truck I have the same dash that he’s using

[@CheetahRepairServices]

Brand new trucks have different calibration(updated software) there is no way to bypass it like that, have to connect computer and reprogram it. So best solution would be dealer.

[@donwilliams2876]

Nah that ain’t it my boy

[@CheetahRepairServices]

Like I mentioned before it doesn’t work for everybody. New update on trucks doesn’t let you do it anymore. But for some trucks it still works.

[@marklambert4793]

Doesn’t work 👎

[@SKIMP1973]

doesn't work

[@CheetahRepairServices]

Some trucks programmed differently.

[@akinsakins3371]

Doesn't work

[@CheetahRepairServices]

If you have recent update, it won’t work no matter what you do. Have to use optimized idle only

[@triggerxx9760]

Try lowering the landing gear if you're attached to a trailer and your tires are against a curb, then push the parking brake in, then engine idle adjust.

[@Avyanna-N-Dad]

Doesn’t stay on, dang

[@CheetahRepairServices]

Newer trucks or updated from dealer have different calibration. Need to reprogram. Try to use optimized idle instead. Inconvenient but it’ll keep you warm. Or if you have bunk heater it’ll be even better. Good luck ;)
