To bypass it, you have to sit and wait 4 mins, 30 secs, wait for a light to start flashing on the dash, and tap the throttle. Then it'll run till it's out of fuel if you let it. I've tried to bypass it by bumping up the throttle with the cruise control (which does work), but even then, 5 mins later, it'll shut down. Is there a way to quickly bypass this? Meaning, if I stop, and know I want the truck to stay running, hit a button/switch/whatever when I stop, and it'll stay running? I don't want to attempt to alter anything (company truck) and none of the mechanics know if it can be done or not.

I have an International 9400 I, and fought with the 5 minute idle shutdown for months. I was in electronics and found a way to do it. I had a small circuit board made
and inserted in line with the cruise control wiring. I can idle forever now. I only do it to keep my batteries charged when the refrigerator is running, and to keep warm when it is cold\ It would be nice to have an APU, but they are expensive. I can make you a kit to get the truck to idle for about $125. [email protected]

Holy BUMP, Batman. I think bumping a seven year old post has got to be a record!
