Sweating my butt off

Yes, you can thank CARB for idle shutdown. Jolsen, if your truck has a Maxxforce engine you will need to go an International dealer and get the ECM reprogrammed to take out the idle shutdown. It is a different feature code to take out the ISD. Just tell them you need the engine to stay running because you have, or are getting a PTO. If you have a Cummins, then you can go to any shop that connect with a Cummins and disable the ISD.

 

If it is 52 outside you need a window fan. Won't help when it is 80 but at 52 it should make a lot of difference.

 

This works on some trucks not all set a chock block on your wheels and release your brakes this makes your ECM think you are rolling it works best if you don't use the cruise to idle up.I was in the same sitution I know it sucks.

 

I'm good with one of those 8" fans until it gets up to 80 degrees.

 

wow man i feel for ya that sucks.....

 

If the truck has a CARB clean idle sticker on the side of the cab then it doesn't need an Idle shutdown.

There is a lot of confusion about the California requirements. The OP said clean idle so that would mean the company put the idle timer on there for fuel economy.

Of course if he doesn't have the sticker than the truck isn't clean idle and need the idle timer...

 

Your ######## in the wrong place. Call the boss, find out their idle policy, they probably don't even know how the ECM is set, squeaky wheel gets the grease.
It can all be fixed in a few minutes with a computer at your shop or a dealer. Most dealers are open 24/7.

 

you will need to contact your company and depending on the type of engine it has that will determine where you will have to go to get the settings changed in the engine ecm, if it has a international maxxforce engine you will have to take it to a international dealer, as far as i know the maxxforce engine program is a dealer only release, sounds like you will also need the ecm password, which the dealer could get by contacting your breakdown, its a real easy process to change the settings.
