that little button is why my tuesday morning over-idle percentage is 77.15 percent. check yours out, T. if you have an MCP 200, go to HOME>PERFORMANCE MONITORING>SUMMARY
could be worse...I have to IDLE to stay cool and sleep when its hot...cause my Cascadia's EPU doesn't work on the A/c side...just for Heat...LOL
Wow!! My monthly over idle is 6.4%...today, 0. I have been trying to use it as little as I can, so when I NEED it, its all good. I have been keeping fan on lower setting, and trying to avoid serious cooling...pulling all curtains when necessary, leaving windows open as possible. It was good even in TX with 93 degrees, and I am NOT good with heat.
I think we are good for 15% now in these prostars. Mine is like 3.9%. I turn on autostart every night.
i often don't do that because i have a very slow air leak in the tractor someplace. i'll turn the autostart on, go to sleep, and then several hours later the low air alarm will wake me up. i have to either start the truck or turn the autostart off. then i do it again.
It's not your seat is it? One of my students kept leaving the seat massage air thing on and it ran my air tanks out and kept on all night.
I left the massage on...once. low air alarm freaked me out til I remembered hearing that it'll run the air down. Turned it off, no more air leak. I'm on the fence about that feature... A higher idle percentage would be good.
I leave my auto start on most nights, and anytime it gets real warm out, I have never gone over idle time, most months I am at less than 50% of what is allowed.
