    Is there a way to by-pass or over-ride the automatic idle shut-down on a Kenworth T700?

    Limited idle can be a major problem. Kenworth can make a computer change that will allow you to idle the engine as long as necessary.

    If this is your truck, I am assuming that you purchased it new from a dealer. I dont know why the engine wold shut down, if you set the idle. Did they change somethiing that sets a max idle time recently?
