Lol keep coloring inside the lines if it makes you feel better. Leave it idling, take your fob and lock it. When you’re done unlock it, hop back in and go. My F250 diesel never shuts off on road trips or when towing. Leave it idling and locked up. Never had an issue or had anyone even attempt to steal it
Feel free to send our team a private message if you'd like to discuss your situation further, SalC.
With the current generation Macks, you absolutely can. It just won't actually obey your command until it has idled itself down and cooled itself off. I think more diesel vehicles should adopt that strategy.
that sucks and hope everyone was ok, but, people do so much stupid shit around semi's and expect them to stop on a dime. GUESS WHAT THEY CANT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. my dad drove a semi for a living. the load plus the truck was over 100,000 lbs combined. try stopping that fast without wrecking because some jackass pulled out in front of you.Would it be better for me to just deal with my one Jeep, or try to warn others that there are serious issues which could leave you without power just when you need it the most.
This wreck happened near the same part of I-15 as my incident. I'm not saying it's related, but I don't want anyone to end up like this.
“The semi was traveling approximately 75 mph,” Street said in a news release. “The Jeep was traveling significantly slower than the semi.”The semi driver didn’t realize the Jeep was going as slowly as it was, the news release says, and the semi rear-ended the Jeep.Troopers are investigating the possibility that the Jeep may have been traveling slowly on the shoulder of the road and merged in front of the semi, according to the news release.

Hummm....unless your dad regularly broke the law or applied for a hard to get special exemption permit, I don't think so. The MCGVW of a semi (truck + load) is 80,000lbs, unless it is an EV truck which gets some allowance to go slightly above 80,000lbs.
When I pull into an interstate rest area, (and when I pull into a fuel station after driving on the interstate) I let it idle for a few minutes per the owners' manual AND I open the hood BEFORE I shut off the engine. I keep the hood open until I'm ready to restart. I do this because I believe that reducing the heat extends the life of my ecoDiesel engine; I now realize that it also helps avoid going into limp mode when I restart the engine.
Further, there isn't a cop who will actually cite you for that under normal circumstances. They only reason they are is if you are deliberately abusing it such as running a vehicle for hours on end... I mean it's Florida so under certain racial circumstances a cop would probably cite someone for every law they can think of...
As someone who doesn't understand the emissions delete crowd (haven't we fucked our planet enough?) I would like to point out that the cooldown is about turbo and oil temperatures, not emissions. If you aren't deleting your turbo, how do you expect something that is intended to mitigate thermal working of the turbo to go away when you remove a separate system that has little impact on how much your turbo is working... One could even argue that if anything, the increased cycling of your turbo and reduced cycling times (due to lower backpressure) would increase the need to cool-down your turbo if you did an emissions modification, however the reality is that the numbers are likely to be insubstantial.
Sadly, I am not a trained techncian SalC, so I am unable to provide theories or speculate on repairs. Moving forward, if you are working with a dealer or about to work with a dealer, we can provide added assistance. We are in private message as stated to discuss further with you.
Does the diesel need to regen? Generally diesels are tuned to either produce nox or particulate. Since the jeel diesel uses def it was tuned to make more nox. Regen is usually on a diesel tuned to make particulate and is needed to burn the spot off the particulate filter. Granted my experience is all on highway trucks and off-road so curious if consumer diesels are different.
