    I tried it, it didn't work. I failed to say though that it had an automatic transmission. That may have something to do with it.

    Old post, but I usually use a wrench or screwdriver and Jimmy it between bottom of dash and my brake pedal. Idle is canceled by gas OR brake application.

    I have tried that in the international, and it didn't work, it would still preform the idle shut down even with the service brake and fuel pedals pressed down.

    In other words. Get out of trucking. LOL.

    Companies don't care about their drivers. They only care about their bank.
