    If you start a fire under the truck it'll idle as long as you keep adding fuel.

    You can sit in the driver seat and press the accelerator every 2:45.

    I used to just prop up a box if triscuits between the accelerator and the plastic above it.

    Chop up a pallet from your trailer, slather some fuel on it and set a flare to it.

    Add meal wrapped in foil after the flames die down into the ashes, wait until hot.

    I had a idea long ago involving a broom stick. Cut just so.

    At that time the throttle stays put and the computer will kill it.

    One thought... I never did follow through on this how to say this. A motorized sex toy for men. set to random. Put that on the broom stick. Put the whole thing onto fuel pedal wedge under dash and go to bed.

    Thats the idea anyhow. I don't think it will fly over very well with a company wondering wtf is going on with all that random RPM pattern.

    If you are in bed with your toy up front, how does that help you?
    Or, are you actually sleeping in the drivers seat?

    It is motorized so it moves back and forth , thereby moving fuel pedal up and down
