Opti Idle

Is there any way to get around opti idle, like setting your cruise control and getting the rpms up so it will not shut the truck on and off?

yes, that's what optimized idle is for, to keep oil pressure up among other things. just hit your cruise on and bump it up to around 1000 rpm and you should be fine.
