How to stay cool

That opti idle is hard on stuff, think dry bearings in the motor.

 

I rigged up one of those reversible window fans to help me stay cool while loading in the steamy dairy buildings. It wasn't enough so ibought a large box fan to help pull air out of the cab while the little window fan pushed air in.

Had it all figured out until one way over the 3 hour limit loading wore the battery bank down.

Decided Frick this. Drop the trailer in the dairy , and idle outside with the A/C set on 62. Good sleeping weather when it's 94 out.

Love No Idle Limits

 

One time, I put one of my bed sheets in the Cooler for a while before going to bed.

 

I had S60 with Optimized Idle it went 1.2 million miles and 1 starter

 

Don't forget you got all that heat from transmission heating the floor and truck up onced parked. That running 170F in the summer.

 

2018 Volvo clean idle. Amazing truck. I can't even hear or feel it idle most of the time. No floor heat either. I still have a melted pill bottle that was in my briefcase from a 2007 FL.

 

That's just wrong, you're supposed to feel it idle, the floor doesn't get too warm as long as your air conditioner works.

 

I leave my engine running and AC on to stay cool, and the same method for heat in the winter.
I don't embrace this no idling practice, drivers suffer enough.

 

That might not work here in az record today 117 maybe
