    my engine automatically shut off after 5 min when the truck is not moving. It's so frustrating for a driver who can't survive without AC in summer.
    Is there an effective way to keep the truck idling?

    Go to dealer, get idle shutdown turned off.

    Doubt they will do that for a company truck?

    Thanks. Do you have idea how much it will cost to do the trick?

    Alot of the cascadia's of that year have a heat sensor on the bottom or on the top of the driver side mirror. Some guys would wrap a small thermal patch heat around the sensor area to keep it hot and then truck will idle if your lucky!

    Does it do this even after you put it in a high idle?

    you know what is wired i came across this trick when browsing some youtube videos, but couldn't locate the temp sensor under either side of the mirror.
