    Same as mine. Yea bumping the gas does the same thing. I'd try the clutch next time. Just press it to the floor then release and it should do the same.

    Doesn't sound like there installing anything if there all like yours. Its a feature built into the ECM that there turning on.

    I'm curious to know if this will work on the others?

    That is just the standard engine shut off. With ambient its hard coded into the ecm no over riding it.

    I received my CDL this past week and am considering Schneider. The recruiter here told me that ambient sensors are installed only on trucks that have APUs. Is he blowing airborne particulate matter up my rectum? Thanks for any responses.

    SNI company trucks dont have APU's. At least none that I've heard about, which isnt saying a whole lot.

    Interesting. The recruiter told me that they come together on the new trucks and are installed in pairs on later model existing trucks, however on older trucks due to be replaced soon they have neither. Thanks guys, I have just about ruled them out and plan on going with another company.

    Yes, He is blowing ambient matter up your rectum. Schneider doesn't have APU'S. If they did they wouldn't need those sensors.
