Whats with the engine idle shutdown feature? I presume it's supposed to help with emissions, but why do they need to?

On a good note, the block heater is standard for Idaho. Woo-hoo

And what makes the Reverse aid sensor not available with engine shutdown feature???

From what I have heard, the Job #3 diesel powered vehicles in green states will be programmed to shut down automatically after idling over 5 minutes. If a truck has the PTO provision, and it's hooked up, the program will allow the truck to idle for 15 minutes.


On Edit: I think this is only for vehicles OVER 14k GVWR. I'll double check and post back.

[MT765]

Thats kinda interesting. Does anybody know if Dodge and GM have to do this too?

Ho stupid can these dumb ass engineers get? Apparently there is no limit on stupidity.

Say you are working for the power company, whether on the lines or cutting downed trees off the lines.

You are freezing and wet. You go to your truck to get warm.

And the damn thing will not run long enough to get warm, much less warm you.

Hunters, cattlemen, all sorts of people need for their truck to run until they turn it off.

You are working a wreck and a volunteer fireman. You need lights. It cuts off the engine after 5 minutes?

I can not believe what this country is coming to.

A nation of engineering geniuses with zero common sense.

stunya, loft306, and George C:

I have an 08 F350 DRW with the mandated 4.10 gears.

I have interest in swapping them out for 3.73 gears.

I don't know how involved this job would be or even if they are interchangeable.

I was going to PM you guys, but things have changed around here a little and I couldn't find the button.

Let me know your thoughts...

[Alaska Ranger]

That package has two things I sure could have used! The supplemental cab heater with a manual transmission, and that front grille cover (std. for AK).

Rats!

[loft306]

Alaska Ranger what no grill cover? was that because oaf the order state? or the ship sate...im in viscon and got the winter cover!, helps keep the airfinter from getting iced up in a heavy snow...and i geuss that was why they gave it out...from the 'broadcast secrvice message i read.

[Alaska Ranger]

Any insight on this, Bobby?

Being that the vehicle was registered to "Alaska" we should be able to get a hold of it. Let me do some checking.
