    Does any one know how to get a 2015 cascadia with the dt12 trans to idle more than 10 mins at a time? My trainer and I can't figure it out and we tried the old optimized idle that's on the older trucks as well as using the trailer to park with.

    Need to ask your company or another driver at your company.

    There is a good chance it's set to not Idle at all.
    Or set to only allow Idle at a Certain Temp.

    Well someone knows.
    They don't have a shop?
    That's normally who would set that up when they idle/if they idle and so forth.

    You will have to take it to the dealer or where yall bought it & have them to hook the computer to it & set it. We lease from Ryder & they discontinued mine. But, as I said, you will have to have someone who can connect a computer & reset it from there.

    you will need to hook up DDDL and remove idle restriction. DDDL is a software -Detroit Diesel Diagnostic Link.
