I just got assigned another truck because my Kenworth t680 has been in the shop for 2 weeks. They’re trying to fix an adaptive cruse fault issue. I was assigned a 2022 Cascadia. And there seems to be no way for me to idle over night. I tried upping the RPM but the truck still shuts off. I am currently bob tail. Are there any other options or am I just SOL? Anyone else have this truck, how do you handle it?

Depends on how the parameters are set. Some will shut down between a certain temp range.
Some are set to shut down by a timer.nextgentrucker, TX2Day and xzmpt Thank this. -
If you are Bob tailing back against a curb and release the brakes. Idle up and go to sleep.

In my last truck the Freightliner dealer set my (out of gear) idle to 875 because of a problem with top end lubrication. It was a directive from Freightliner.
Only at that one dealer, though. It has been in a few times since to both Swift and Freightliner and they turned it back down to around 600.
I guess not everyone gets the memo.
I never had any luck with setting a higher idle propping something on the pedal, because the constant speed was always seen as a standard idle.
But if it works for you, keep quiet about it and enjoy the freedom.xzmpt, 77fib77 and Flat Earth Trucker Thank this. -
