{"replyTo":"","text":"Releasing your tractor brakes doesn't always work. I had a kenworth and the company knew the trick and somehow they did something where it would still shut off after so long. Hopefully it works for you. My first 2 months out of school I had a peterbuilt and my bunk header wouldn't run for more then 2 to 4 hours. Took to shop they said it worked, well it didn't. So instead of spending more time in the shop I bought more blankets. Froze but kept making money and I won't do it again. That's why I'm o/o. Good luck driver.","replyToPid":0}

{"replyTo":"","text":"Another trick to bypass the auto cut off is to open the hood. There is a switch that activates when the hood is open so the mechanics can idle the truck as long as they need to.","replyToPid":0}

","text":"Can't say much since mine is a year older but if possible, slightly press the accelerate pedal, & set the cruise control. It should relieved any idle cutoff procedure on the truck. \n\nAnd should u drive in areas that's well below freezing, get some cardboard & zip ties & restrict the air flow going through the radiator. It'll help retain heat while you're driving.","replyToPid":263317}

{"replyTo":"","text":"Either that or check for a engine overide switch to prevent shut down? pull the relay?  \n\nFind a brick and put in on the fuel pedal to get those rpms up and maybe that will prevent shutdown.","replyToPid":0}
