    I have a 2016 Cascadia, cruise control on during idle, hit accelerate once or twice and it bypasses shutdown. Worst case get something heavy and keep it on the acceleration pedal.

    I use to do this during my Sysco years. Truck would shut off after a few mins.

    All I did was turn the cruise on and bump the acceleration up just above normal idle rpm rate. The truck would stay running till I turned the cruise control off.
