Frustrating Idle Cutoff

Wow!

I'll be doing that from now on.

It is far simpler than waiting a whole 5 minutes and depressing the clutch or hitting a couple buttons.

Thanks!!!

 

Has absolutely nothing to do with idling.

That is to override an engine that has shut down (by the engine protection circuit) - due to a major failure (like oil run out) - and move it to a safe haven or off the road.

 

They may have a medical waiver, such as those who use a cpap machine.

 

Can any truck equipped with idle shutdown have idle shut down overridden by having the clutch pedal fully depressed while idling?

If holding the clutch pedal fully depressed is viable option, Harbor Freight sells an adjustable 2-in-1 Support/Cargo Bar at: http://www.harborfreight.com/2-in-1-support-cargo-bar-66172.html that can easily be modified to accomodate various trucks and dimensions from seat to clutch pedal.

 

Great idea as long as you can figure out how to shift without a clutch release bearing and soon after, how to shift without a clutch release fork. Also, after a few minutes forget about the clutch brake working ever again.

No, holding the clutch pedal fully depressed for any length of time is not a viable option.

Pressing the clutch pedal down to the floor momentarily on a Prostar, within 30 seconds of the idle shut down warning lighting up on the instrument cluster, will override idle shutdown.

you stated the cruise control wouldn't override the idle shut off. Did you do it this way: when truck is idling, turn on cruise control; push the 'acc' (accelerator) button on the steering wheel and bump up the rpm's; then push the 'dec' (deccelerate [sp?]) button on the steering wheel and let it return to normal idle. That should do hopefully.

 

I have a '13 Cascadia with the same problem..
-Cruise Control "high idle" doesn't work... I mean it raises the rpm but the engine still shuts down after 5min.

-Engine Shutdown Override.. works to stop the shut down.. after 5min it tries to shut down again, so I duct taped the switch in the on position.. no dice. Engine still shuts down unless you remove the tape, releasing the switch then clicking it again.

-Clutch depressed, doesn't work. and for the record the clutch brake only gets fried if you're moving and depress the clutch all the way. Sitting still it won't hurt it. Doesn't work anyway so irrelevant.

-Tractor brakes off.. doesn't work.

-I'm going to skip the whole "disconnect the driveline/jack up the drives." ideer.

I think I've got it figured out though....
I need a giant one of these to "blip" the throttle every 4 minutes..

 

I have a brand new T700 and it's been a pain since I got it sometimes the light flashes and then beeps a few secs later it beeps sometimes it does nothing but dies before I can even get to it with me being in the seat even or it does 1 and not the other and u must do both in my truck to keep it running its a hassle sometimes specially if I'm trying to sleep it fights me and fights me and takes 20min
