    Hubby says you can bump up to he thinks abt a 1000 you just have set your cruise and hit accelerate ( the button you use to increase your cruise on the road) that's what we were having to do

    Maxxforce high/pto idle: set brake, turn on cruise, hit set -- it'll bring idle up to 850-1000rpm

    Cummins may be different...


    A/C was always a little weak on my prostar -- if you parked with the windshield in the sun on a 110* day you'd be lucky to get the bunk down to 80 after an hour. Parking with the trailer shading the truck helps quite a bit

    Everyone must be hungover roads were bare coming down 65 compared to usual :O

    24hr home break.

    Current pay package leaves me unmotivated to deliver the drop a day early.

    My truck won't bump up every now and then.

    Tap clutch with parking brakes released.
    Then hit brakes.
    Rev
    Brake again
    Set cruise push down not up tap crazilly.
    Put foot on clutch.
    Raises rpm

    Repeat until success.
    Cheer

    Make popcorn :D
