the ecm is programmed to shutoff at set timer, the only way to change that is in the dealer...to change parameters, and need company auth to do that, i feel for ya, not a nice way to have the truck shutoff in hot/freezing weather

 

Find a brick and figure it out.

 

Lol, I'm with you on that!

I know fuel is a major expense nowadays but if im going to live in a truck, I'm going to be comfortable.

 

exactly why one of my first questions to a recruiter is do you have apu's

 

Our truck has NO idle timer...neener neener

 

Do they disable it for team trucks?

 

This is one of the reasons I left USX......I have an APU now...LOL

 

I dont believe so, I was sitting in Laredo TX terminal last week and I had a team truck sitting next to me, they had to keep restarting their truck every 10-15 mins it seemed like, looked like it can get really annoying, quickly.

 

No. When Our last truck got hit they put us in this stripped down Cascadia. It is one ugly truck with no fairings, not even the cab extensions. No idle shutdown. No Vorad or OnGuard system at all. I can't tell you how nice it is not to hear that beeping.

The last Cascadia had the sensor somewhere under the front end. We had no problem idling in hot weather, but the sensor would get too warm in cold weather. We just had to press in the clutch once after the light started flashing and it would stay on in hot weather.
