It's easy if you own the truck, however if you don't own the truck there will probably be a password issue.

What Bent Wrench said.

We have an "ENG SHDN OVRD" - Engine Shutdown Override switch on ours... you've got 30 seconds after the red engine shutdown lite comes on to hit it. Will run for 3 minutes I think. Its not to run very far, but just enough to get you to a safe place to park and shutdown.
You're real issue is why the ECM thinks you're killing the engine...kee1227 Thanks this. -
I am leasing the truck right now.

If your truck has a manual, read it. There are a few ways to over ride it:
1) Press on the OVRD ENG SHDN switch
2) Rev up the RPM's
3) Turn on the cruise control to put the truck in smart idle mode.TruckingJohn Thanks this. -

Are you meaning to say that when your time is up the engine shuts itself Dow? The company really does that? Or are you talking just a normal engine idle timer? What kind of motor?
