I've had a Webasto on every truck I've owned.
It's the only way to travel.

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.
This is an adjustable parameter in the engine ECM, as long as a tech with C's software has a password, it can be easily changed. be aware that no matter how this issue is approached, the owner can still acquire "idle hours" information from an ECM download. Tell the boss to buy a webasto!

FYI
There is no state or city laws anywhere in the US that prevent you from idling under hours of service ...sleeper

Think you'd better check NY on that one. I've seen a driver get a ticket for idling at 15 degrees. Also, NJ has cops parked in the service areas along the turnpike just looking for someone to idle his truck.

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!
