There’s no point having shiny paint if the wheels are all covered in dirt. A quick hose and some wheel cleaner will have them 👌

The clean air certified means it will only idle for 200 seconds unless you push the "engine override" button it's annoying as hell, when you're sleeping in 100 degrees and the engine and AC turns off , it's an automatic button pusher, that could easily make this person a billionaire and loved by all
How in the actual fuck did a button being pressed by a robot in a box turn into a political argument?!
This is what you get when Democrats vote for Democrats who pass laws that control every aspect of our lives; Republicans find a way around it. 2026 elections are coming up, vote the Democrats out.
for all of you wondering why politics always appears. it's bots.
Whoever made this video is not that good at editing you can see the little white stick that is used to push the button and they didn’t Photoshop all of it out. Pay attention right under the charger block.
how about you make it so it's automatically turned on when your cab temp is sustained. and engine will act accordingly? am I wrong? looks like the truck manufacturer and laws cause this nonsense.
Pedophiles Have Existed since LONG BEFORE EPSYEIN ISLAND, and the Sleazeballs in Our Government , and Corporate America have ALWAYS taken part !!
the only tractors that don't do that are the ones that run a pto.
Well since it's all political and it's pissing everyone off because of the crooked politicians. No one shows up to work for a month. 😤😆 that'll teach 'em!
get a stronger truckers union and control this BS ruining working truckers lives 🤔strike, no more gadgets 🥰
Every policy implemented by the Democrats always comes up with a Republican solution such like this.
im wondering what im looking at
it's a political argument because politicians put this dumbass law in place to piss off truck drivers and deter from taking the job...they are making self driving rigs for the time we welcome it like we do self checkout b/c they let check out service get so bad first. think of the Canadian trucker protest a few years ago...they don't want that to happen - starts with BS laws, ends with taking the job from us...just look around
Some idiots really made this about republicans and democrats.
just press the yellow air brake in keep.the red out
anyone know the name of this little box please, I really need to get one, I have a fucking Freightliner that shuts off 🤔 name and where can I find it please and thank you..
Release Tractor, leave trailer set. Thts also a weird Lil trick to keep from shutting down. Or if u can control idle speeds when stationary, set idle to 1040-1060, this will also keep unit from shutting down. But, if u are a company driver, these companies can now see ur idle time and will reduce pay for extensive use of idle times.
I'm in the comments to see what this little gadget is and nothing but politics.
Or u can chalk ur tires and release your parking brakes lol
Its ridiculous that drivers need to do this. Most of them sleep in the cab in hot summer and cold winter so they need the engine on so they dont die lol
you cant tell these idiots anything. its funny how they only have bad things to say about trump. but nothing good about their party. or candidates. they just want someone to hate
I usually put my brakes on and cruise control stays on all night
So sick of ignorance with their go to always political. Read books and expand your vocabulary, knowledge and intelligence PLEASE I feel sorry for the people you interact with
all of a sudden, the thread went political, nothing matters people…it’s us against them (elites)
regin
can't idle more than five minutes any more
where to order?
just get comfort mode in your truck or optimized idle
One guy invents crap and another man invents crap that overrides the first guys crap.
I turn on cruise control and bump idle up 1 time and chill
it's time to face facts we need God now more then ever because man has lost its way guides by the devil's hand
You were able to bypass the 5 minute idle by bumping the RPMs higher at idle, but engineers found out and programmed them differently. Then you were able to release the tractor brakes and leave the trailer brakes applied to bypass the 5 minute shutdown (not recommended), but again, engineers changed it. On the new ones now, you can't bypass them unless you buy this gadget. I have a laptop that allows me to bump up the idle times or deactivate it completely. I dont like to deactivate them, but I do bump them up when asked to.
yeah that's real quick cute making them shut off after a certain amount of time and then when it's 10 degrees. they won't restart
What kind of bs they trying nowadays 😂 bsck in my day bump the ole cruise control up and boom go in the back and wait for a lizard 😂 jk
that's tough
can a trucker explain?
Wtf!?
Looks like a 3D printed device. That is super cool and harmless. Unless you're the boss man, there is no reason to be upset about anything. Go take your pill and put your phone down. Enough internet for you today. Your TDS is flaring up.
or idle up a little and hit the cruise control
I wish I had that when I was a driver
You can also turn the cruise on and idle up and it will not shut down
If my truck decides what it wants to do, it gets returned to the dealership. They'll stop building this crap, just as soon as you all stop buying it! Call their bluff.
have your mechanic disable it 🤣 Takes a minute and eliminates this crap.When you are waiting to load in a line this gets extremely irritating.I asked the mechanic to deactivate it and up my governor to 80mph....Truck works much better for the job it is needed for.
or use the cruise control . If you didn't know that your not a driver 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺
We have optimized idle, but this is a neat little device.
Override? Is that what it says??
It’s about time with this gadget
you name callers are ridiculous
😆😆
