Company has disabled that option should still be able to Idle tje truck up but it will shut down. TO FIX THAT PROBLEM RELEASE TRACTOR BREAK . Leaving the trailer break set .. 👍👍👍
I was going to try this but decided to try and save some money and see how 34° feels like under 3 layers of blankets with layered clothes 🤔 ill let you know how it goes
I have a 2022 freightliner cascadia and they disabled that ability as well now. Well the company has and probably most by now since everyone is worried about fuel economy anymore
Thanks, dude. My APU is down right now. It gets hot in the morning 😅 Update: Have to combine this trick with the "pull Trailer brake and press tractor brake" technique, then it'll stay on.
I carry a few cans of camping propane and a heater ever since my truck froze up in -35 weather and it took 6 hrs for them to come and get me. If your truck won't idle and everything gels up and you have no heat, you're gonna be in trouble. Trust me on this.
My 22 broke down bad and they put me in a 24. 22 had apu 24 has epu. Dont think ive got a good night sleep in this trk. Either dont set opti and worry about batteries or set opti and trk starts and shakes me awake. Dont fully know if will work but got 2 jumpstarters rated 7.5 diesels and propane heater ( gotta get propane tanks still just arrived) this trk sucks. In spring gonna try to get in local day cab company cause they run nice older equipment
This just bailed me out on my 2021 Cascadia right now. But my dash alarm was "Engine Protection, shutting down with the counting down and red engine brake light on". Had to quickly park by the road side and the engine shuts down truly. Fortunately, I did as you've shown and am able to move it but the RED check engine light doesn't clear.
My company just took me out of my classic style 10 speed cascadia and put me in one of these new ones. Good news! I can make just as much as a mechanic, as I can driving a truck 👍
One way is to buy hand warmers and rubber band them to the thermometer on the outside of your truck. On my cascadia it’s on the bottom of the driver side mirror
Did you finish the lease purchase with usx? I'm looking at doing it but nervous. Would like to know what happens at the end of the lease if you could share that info it would make things less stressful
I’m currently in a lease with USX it depends which lease you do. I have the yearly lease. I tried to buy out my truck 4 months ago but I could do it. They said 50k and it’s yours (mind you it’s a 90k truck.) so since I couldn’t get it I had to switch trucks and start over. When you do it CHECK YOUR TRYCK BEFORE YOU SIGN YOUR NAME ON THAT CONTRACT. I’m saying if they let you test drive it do that even before leasing it. But the best part about it is it’s a walk away. Well mine is anyway
Bummer. No update on the lease purchase. Just wanted feedback on other drivers. If you want to idle all night long and are connected to a trailer, just release tractor brakes. I don't recommend that but it's an option for those who have idle rpm locked. Or just don't get a cascadia. They've changed a lot since 2020.
Had a guy tune my 2008 century; never had this problem before. He hooked the computer up to it twice and now it won’t idle for longer than 5 minutes anymore 🤦🏽♂️
Yep 2023 cascadia none of the tricks work lol I have worked for a company who had the mechanic bypass all of it, installed a switch ? Etc it would idle 24-7
You dont have too disable it go to optimized idle under the truck icon turn on comfort mode the truck will start by itself may take a minute. But you will have ac
I think by law they have to if you have a pet? We worked for Quest for 10 years then kllm bought the company last year. Downhill ever since. Never had to worry about sweating or freezing in our trucks before now
@@user-ob2nl2rf1v I turned in my dogs service animal credentials. Even a website info that gave the temperature that a Husky can have a heat stroke. KLLM did give a rats *ss. I simply said “so you want me to quit?” Of course my DM said “No. we don’t want that at all”. But they wouldn’t change anything. Needless to say we changed companies in less than a month and now we haul exotic cars and make over double of What we made at Quest/KLLM. FYI: almost ALL of the quest drivers left and a lot of DM’s and office people left. Even the shop supervisor left. Freddy ( he use to do orientation) and his wife Amy went back to driving trucks. KLLM said “nothing will change”. And of Course EVERYTHING changed. Good riddance. On to bigger and better things.
I work with KLLM and let me just say one more year and my truck will be paid in full, that company will not ever see me again worst company to drive for. STAY FAR AWAY FROM THEM!!!!
Didn't work. It's my truck, I will have to discuss with the dealer what settings they have turned off... This is what happens when people with no real world experience make the law: it is - 40 outside and I'm trying to warm the truck up (did get it started) the MV3 valve always leaks in winter but it's worse at this temp, should stop when the cab warms up the O rings
I recently frost-burnt my fingertips in Laramie at -22 trying to bend stiff fuel hose to try loosen up diesel. Hour and a half at two truckstops before found a pump that worked. That was *new!*
Should be illegal, I have the sleeper heater an all that but it cancels its self around midnight to 1 am. Sucks waking up freezing or burning up covered in sweat. How is anyone supposed to get a good night sleep. All this fuel efficient shit is killing my sleep time.
Its 27 degrees right now up here in emporia KS . My truck thinks its 45 and keeps shutting down. Im so sick of these shitty trucks. I have a cascadia freightliner 2023
Guess this 24 has a restriction shit suck bs APU unit it’s 100+ out here!!! Parking brake only works for about an hour or 2 b4 it start buzzing saying pull truck brake!!!🤦🏾
I hate this truck. It was 50° out and was like 90 in my truck so i had the shitty AC running and it turned off in the middle of the night. Woke up sweating my ass off and i couldnt go back to sleep. That shit can kill you. What ate you supoosed to do when its -30° outside or 110° and the shit turns off while your sleeping... ffs
Boy look here I’m in a 2023 and I been trying to figure this out for a week now! U the man !!
If I ever see you at a Bar ...The Beers are on me Buddy. Thanks

So good to see you again brother!

I know the Quest trucks had a heated fuel lines. This came in very handy when we were stuck in WY in December. The temp was -27
But felt like -44.
My 22 broke down bad and they put me in a 24. 22 had apu 24 has epu. Dont think ive got a good night sleep in this trk.

So it's -20 and I have to sit up all night to hit override POS trucks
Bro this is stupid I have a 2022 and this damn thing goes to cold air every damn time I optimize idle.
@@TjNastyMan mine too and I did this and shutdown The engine not working on 2023
Find a different company. Or use Espar in bunk. Or if own truck...take to dealer and have them deactivate
@BR 549 CRuSTy solution ... take the brakes off or put it in gear. Lol. 🚛💥
Find something heavy and put it on the gas pedal like a dumbell if you have one
This is very Informative!!
Thank you 🙏
Oh thank you so so much for this video this trick work for me sitting in the hot sun in my truck kept shutting down you save me lol
This actually worked, thank you 😊
But mine one’s engine stops in engine idle mode. Do you know how i can deactivate it while the engine is shutoff position???
It's been along long time my friend. I hope all is well and that you will continue to drop more videos again. Are you on another platform page.
Ty....this worked... no more babysitn the idle frozen and tired😅
Does yours have an annoying beeping sound while on high idle?
Did you get to complete your lease on your truck?
Hey man r u still with usxpress how did the lease purchase go?
THANK YOU SO MUCH I HAD FORGOTTEN THANK YOU AGAIN.
What a stupid fing feature for these trucks in the cold we’re in -40 right now and this things trying to shut off on me
No sleep = crash.
But they got insurance. 🙄
This just bailed me out on my 2021 Cascadia right now.
But my dash alarm was "Engine Protection, shutting down with the counting down and red engine brake light on". Had to quickly park by the road side and the engine shuts down truly.
Fortunately, I did as you've shown and am able to move it but the RED check engine light doesn't clear.
Thank you for the video brother...
What’s up Robert? Are you still with USX?
So what if is disabled?
so do you still dive for them
Thanks heaps mate it was annoying the sh!t out of me!👍🇦🇺
My company just took me out of my classic style 10 speed cascadia and put me in one of these new ones. Good news! I can make just as much as a mechanic, as I can driving a truck 👍
Did you ever pay off your truck lease?
can anyone advise how to trick IDLE on 2023 FTL model. We cannot shut it down since there is restriction
One way is to buy hand warmers and rubber band them to the thermometer on the outside of your truck. On my cascadia it’s on the bottom of the driver side mirror
Ty...sitting in 100* weather with the apu inop.
You are my hero
Did you finish the lease purchase with usx? I'm looking at doing it but nervous. Would like to know what happens at the end of the lease if you could share that info it would make things less stressful
Yeah I'm wanting to know as well
i got my title yesterday

Be careful
Did u pay off the truck?!!! 🔥
Looks like your in a different truck cause I see it's white what happened with the red usx truck
Thanks buddy!
Realease trailer brakes and Find something heavy and put it on the gas pedal like a dumbell if you have one
Worked for me thx
Thank you 😊
What to do if it’s still saying idle shutdown will occur? Are my RPMs not high enough?
No, your company just disabled it and you’re out of luck
If you're connected to a trailer, make sure you're in neutral, then release the tractor brake making sure that the trailer brake is engaged
I had a driver call me
Symptoms
Truck said shutdown in 30 seconds he pulled over and now truck won’t crank please help
Yeah my company still has a shutdown even if I do this. -18 tonight. Gonna suck
Thank you
I’ll have to try this. I have a 23’ with 18k miles on it and idle free already barking at me last night as if the batteries are getting fried.
I use to do this wit my previous freightliner, this new 2022 freightliner my company disabled it smh
Where you been my friend are you still with USX
Thanks buddy!
I'm here tryna figure out if you paid off that truck tho
😂😂😂

This actually works!!! I use my dunnage as wheel chocks!! Thanks bro!! I’m in Minnesota and it 25 degrees right na! 💪🏾 💯…you the man bro!!
Thankyou
Thanks
Not working. Any other tricks?
I have tried this on a 2023 model and it does not work.
Had a guy tune my 2008 century; never had this problem before.
He hooked the computer up to it twice and now it won’t idle for longer than 5 minutes anymore 🤦🏽♂️
Doesn't work on my 23 model. Even idling up, it shuts off after 5 minutes
My freaking company has it set where it still shuts off .freaking bullshit.
Mine still shut off
What i do is that i release my tractor breaks y it keeps running😊
Even that trick doesn’t work on mine, it’ll allow the truck to idle longer, but only by like 10min or so.
Yep 2023 cascadia none of the tricks work lol I have worked for a company who had the mechanic bypass all of it, installed a switch ? Etc it would idle 24-7
40 years of driving, they have made this job miserable....

Optimized Idle is greyed out
You never told us if you finished paying off the lease
My guy he got fired on his last day 😅😂😂😂
MY GUY!!!! DID YOU GET THE TITLE?!?!
No it still shuts down
This does NOT work in a 2023. KLLM will NOT shut off our optimized idle even though we have a service animal that is a Siberian Husky.
