    really?!? So now it'll keep idling? I got the same darn problem, but in my case I got an APU, but sometimes the APU sucks cause it takes so darn long to heat up. But on the flip side the APUs do help the carbon monoxide factor, right??? But anyways enlighten us on your findings sir.

    On my Columbia, on the left side of my steering wheel it has two buttons, utility lamp and shutdown override.

    I started the truck, held down the shutdown over ride, a light came on, on the dash. It said engine protect. It then went out and I let go of the button, then the check engine light came on, at that point I pressed the clutch to the floor until it went out. After that I let off the clutch, I still got two messages on qualcomm saying idle timer. But it kept idling, it got warm enough inside that I shut the truck off after about two hours, then my bunk heater stayed on all night. Since it was already warm in the cab, my bunk heater didn't have to struggle. It kept the inside about 70* which is what we keep our house in the winter anyway. So I was happy with it. I would have idled all night but the constant release of air pressure from the compressor governor is vey annoying.

    Change of plans, fellas. Prime initially said 3-4 weeks training (40k miles). The math didn't add up so I emailed seeking clarification. It's now 3-4 months. I'm not a fan of that for many reasons. Sooo... I called Roehl back. They never got back to me because of a communications error (I hope). Sooo... I start most likely with Roehl on the 30th....

    That's sounds good bro. I was out with my trainer for 11 days. I could have had longer but he felt I was ready and I felt I was ready, and off I went. Been loving it ever since.
