Sweating my butt off

or you could do this... runn the AC until you stop... plug this in.

and stay cool all night.. reuse the cooler with ice from machines until you get home to freeze the gallons.

 

maybe we need a new thread on how to keep cool for cheap.

 

I did this by accident yesterday so I can't promise it works everytime. Our company truck is set on a 2 minute timer yesterday was a hot day and I needed the truck running for longer but kept having to restart. Until I got impatient, after the third timed shut down I restarted almost immediately without resetting the key from the on position or waiting for the gages to set.

In other words, the key remains in the on position even though the timer has forced it to shut off. Rather than turning the key to the off before restarting I just turned it from the on position to restart.

I went back to cleaning and realized 15 minutes later that the truck was still running. I even drove around the parking lot and then reset parking brakes and it stayed on for about 1 hour til I manually shut it down.

Not sure if it was a computer glich or what but it's worth a try! I know I will try it again as our days start to heat up.

 

Man that Bull to the fullest I don't blame you.... you are making them all kinds of money you should at least be comfortable doing it.....everything can't always be about saving money Drop it off at the terminal and force them to give you another!!!!

 

thank god the pumkin patch hasnt had this retarded idea of putting a idle timer on us. Why dont companies do similar to schneider and just make keeping your idle percentage below a certain % and if you do you get like a $3-400 quarterly bonus.

 

Not to put too fine a point on it, but Cummings was a poet, Cummins makes engines. Hope you get your a/c working.

 

take it to a international dealer so they can change the idle shut down settings in the engine ecm, might be password protected, the dealer will have to get that from your company, no other way that i know of around this issue.

 

tel you what i done without hitting the clutch search all the gears for a hitch meaning you can slide it almost into gear but not all the way and it will stay the computer thinks its in gear and wont shutdown

has always worked for me on every truck i have ever driven the volvos with the eaton 9 spd was the 5th or ninth i always left the selector up in that one cause if it did go into gear accidentally when i was sleeping it would die and it would wake me if it did from the jolt lol but that never happened ahhaha you can almost always find a hitch somewhere int eh transmission just keep a lookin you will find it and when hitched leave it in high range...
