    If you own the truck then why in the world would you ever do this?

    Idle shutdown disable is a very simple and fast parameter change. Ughhhhh

    With a 2020 you can simply call Volvo and they will remote program parameters though satellite

    Well if you own your truck why would you do something that stupid? Take it to a dealer. For about 50 bucks you can have them turn the shutdown off. You do realize you may end up having all kinds of coeds start to pop up. For something so simple why would you start ####ing with a $150K Truck

    Thanks,

    I knew from past experience that Kenworth was using Qualcomm Technologies to send updates to the ECM and recieve telemetry from the datalink. Mostly background data transfers. Every now and then my Qualcomm would do an auto update. Only thing was to be a SmartWay certified trucking company you could not change the engine config tables.

    Carriers that join SmartWay and become registered SmartWay Partners meet these demands with ease. Registered SmartWay Carrier Partners measure, benchmark, and track their efforts to increase efficiency and fuel economy and have the documentation to prove it, giving them an advantage with prospective and current clients.

    Some clients demand the carrier be Smart Way partners....energy conservation.

    We installed APU during the purchase of 6 T680, it let us have cool comfort without idling.

    Now, the question becomes, is his Volvo a Smart Way Partner?
    TURNING OFF the fuel saver would void the SmartWay contract.OFF

    This is a government mandate. It is being used to influence the industry. It cares more about the eco system than the human driver.

    Become a SmartWay Carrier Partner | US EPA

    This has nothing to do with that It does not change the power of the motor or anything else It still has clean idle... Etc etc... Doesn't affect the emissions whatsoever.

    All he has plugged in is a generic parameter program. You can select multiple generic parameter programs if you don't know how to set your own parameters

    It would be helpful for you to watch what's in the computer next time you get a chance then you'll understand what all this looks like....
    Fuel saver isn't a parameter, is a generic template of parameters
