If you have a service animal or pet on the truck, the company has to allow the truck to idle to keep the temperature comfortable for the animal. They don’t give a damn about the driver’s comfort and thus safety.
Was definitely a sceptic on this but figured ill take a shot at it. Yes it 100 percent works. For me i spent a total of 30 dollars for the heater and 1 bungee cord. I bought the 15 inch bungee. Worked good for me. A 12 inch bungee would have been better but they were out. Well worth it
@@bradscrazylife4269Wsg man need some help or advise pls bro i bought a 2017 semi freight shaker from Warner and I see the truck has the opti idle device mounted behind my seat in sleeper also there a another remote for heater I believe but I’m not able to set it I watched bunch of videos but on my dash that yellow sucker dosent pops out in order to set it for opti idle it’s freezing outside now in Chicago the only way I have to keep my truck running but you know it’s a big Nono for DPF 1box even diesel price well I tried to turn the key 🔑 to left position and turned on the heater it’s starts blowing heat but I’m really scared that it will drain my Battery’s also I checked underneath the truck that heater got fuel line going to the heater any idea why is not working or is it ok to turn the key 🔑 to the left position set it and keep the heater running all night ? Thanks And God bless
What about when it's 30 degrees outside? My truck will idle for an hour or so then cut off because the heat off the engine makes the temperature rise to over 40 degrees!!! Man I hate these companies for doing this!!! 🤬😡🤬😡
Not a bad idea, but I doubt that'll work when it's like 30° outside.. I've been buying hand warmers every week ever since my company made me start driving a POS Freightliner. But even that only works so well, still can't get it to stay idling with that if it's below 40°.. I wish it was easier to come up with something that you could just set on a timer to gently touch your gas pedal every few minutes!!😂
Why i have to do all this man, i can't work to any company that i have to worry about my health, heater or cold, if they can't afford buying apu shit, they cant torture me by cutting of truck, i QUIT, simple as that
The company i drove for switched from Thermo king APUs to optimized idle. The APU cost $13,000 and any repair near $1,000. No way to save fuel money as cost ate savings.
You can also use a lighter which I think is easier.. When I used that trick when I had a kenworth truck but now I have a freightliner, it doesn’t work for it
You don’t have to do that. ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS GO TO THE SETTINGS ON THE DASHBOARD AND GO TO THE MENU WHERE IT SAYS (IDLE) AND SET IT TO THE HIGHEST SETTING. YOU CANT DO JUST A LITTLE, YOU HAVE TO GO ALL THE WAY TO 9-10RPMS AND YOUR FREIGHTLINER WILL NEVER SHUT OFF UNTIL YOU SHUT IT OFF. IF YOU TOUCH YOUR BRAKE OR ANYTHING IT WILL DISENGAGE AND YOU’LL HAVE TO REDO IT. I STUMBLED UPON IT AND MY TRUCK RAN FOR MY ENTIRE 10hr RESET.
This doesn't work on my 2022 cascadia. I unplugged it and it wasn't reading a temperature which I figured was the loop hole around it not shutting off. Instead it shut down no matter the temperature so I had to replug it
No idea why people try to go around factory setting. Use your apu! By keeping this truck running in that manner you're stopping the truck from going into a passive regen which in turn builds soot. That will cause you to have to replace 5-10k worth of dpf's. I'm certified in complete dd repairs. Js. Go have the factory setting changed. Allow the system to do what it's supposed to do. It's there for a reason
@@larrygonzalez4619 if you have a sleeper and plans on sleeping in the unit it's kinda a must. Some kind of apu or a truck with an elevated idle from factory which allows the unit to regen.
I sat the cruise control, then pushed my tractor air supply valve in. Don't really trust it but it idles all night... Bad part is I don't need it because my account and heart work fine with truck shut off
@@erinsonduran6663 It didn't work for me BUT since this is a Ryder lease truck, they will use their PC software to adjust it since they're responsible for it. I would just seek out a mechanic shop you can trust who knows their stuff even asking the mechanics from several dealerships.This TH-camr is still giving good advice and he's very helpful with simple advice that's free of charge.

Already seeing if my company has a pet rider program 😂 I’ll have a pet for 1 day!
You can also use those disposable hand warmers
Might be possible? But my makes darn sure it’s stays hot.
It works
You can also just unplug that sensor and it will idle
No it won’t, I tried that
Yeah I tried that just now It didn't work

Dude I had to make a solution, I’m glad it worked for you. What these companies do to us should be criminal
@@bradscrazylife4269 I agree 💯. Blame the EPA and the state of California

Thanks I need this simply because my truck keeps dying and I end up having to get a jump. Even when I cut the power off with the switch it dies
Glad I could Help

When it's 30° outside the truck will idle anyway.
How well dose this work while it is raining outside I have this same heater but worried that it will short out or spark
I unplug the temperature sensor and set cruise still cut off
You have to add heat to it. Get the temp over 85

Heater works great
Trucks don't have gas pedals.
@@johnnyringo4068 so your gonna wake up every 15 mins to go push it?
that was anti idle Mexican shops and ask them if they can delete anti idle just 80$
Tying it to the mirror is tricky, but this method worked. 😂
Small bungy cord
Never keep my truck running. Hot it cold days
You don’t have to do that.

In a 2017 I don’t think so
Not every truck has this option available
@@chrisstubbs79 Yeah true it works for 2017’s and newer
I'm in a 2019 and it doesn't work for me.
I’m in a 2020 and that didn’t work when I just tried it.
I did it and it works thanks bro
Glad I could help
Yeah I could do that now, but it's raining outside.
Just unplug the sensor it will never shutdown
Dude I did that too. This was the only way. I hated that truck.
What sensor?
What sensor?
Temp sensor
This doesn't work on my 2022 cascadia. I unplugged it and it wasn't reading a temperature which I figured was the loop hole around it not shutting off. Instead it shut down no matter the temperature so I had to replug it
What sensor do i unplug to make it idle on a 2012 Cascadia?
There is a sensor that’s in the mirror for the temp. Some trucks will idle with it unplugged. Mine didn’t. So I just heated the fucker up.

There was no APU
No they are there to save fuel. Not the engine. If that was the case. They would have never put the egr or dpf/def on these trucks.
@@REAPER_79 of course it's there to save fuel. But when you bypass a system like that in this case all I said above is factual.
@@stevenliberadzki9160 everyone doesn't have luxury of apu

Hell yeah this works Great
Your Welcome. To hell with these companies who do this to there drivers.
@@bradscrazylife4269 exactly Bro... you don't keep a pet in a car without air,but these damn companies want to keep a driver in a truck without air.

@@bradscrazylife4269 do you think this will work on the 2020 cascadia??
2019 too?
Use that trick it works....
Did it work for you

Cuts off after 20 mins. This was the ONLY WAY I GOT IT TO WORK
