Left the truck in drive last night on my 10 with the emergency brakes on.

Shouldn’t tell someone who knows what a automated standard transmission is that he’s wrong if you don’t realize a so called auto still has a clutch like a manual..

 

Well atleast we now why your a Ex Trucker

 

I've been in and around trucks for over 60 years and I have never seen one with an emergency brake. So I guess I'm not qualified to answer the question.

 

If you didn't idle last night, then all that happens is that your truck won't crank. You'll get power, and all the dash lights will come on, but you'll have to put it in neutral first. Tighten up.

 

I don’t know how your IH works, but, Volvo and PACCAR automatically disengage the transmission, when you set the brakes. I wouldn’t worry about it. If there were a problem, the truck would’ve alerted you to it.

 

yeah and you'll have to switch it to neutral to start it.

 

What I said.....
I DO remember a driver when I was at JB Hunt, who tried to reduce his 'idle time' (we got monthly bonuses based on keeping the idle time low..) by wedging a broom handle onto his clutch pedal while sleeping. If I remember, the throwout bearing failed about 1 a.m.........

 

lol amodel is the furthest thing from an armchair mechanic
