Carlos Posted June 25, 2019 Report Share Posted June 25, 2019 Ohm my god, I am shocked that you would make light of this situation. I would expect a well grounded RVer to understand watt's at stake here. Geez, I'm going to bail out of this thread before I get too amped up about it and blow a fuse.

Lance A Lott Posted June 25, 2019 Report Share Posted June 25, 2019 I made similar mistake I started my truck and left it idling behind the barn, two days later I remembered it. It had shut off after 5 minutes, thats almost as stuped as I am. Of course the batterys were dead and I figured I had just cost my self 4 new ones. It didn't take long on the charger before it was ready to go and I have had no problems with then for 2 years. I have not done that again.

Eek. i thought leaving my shop air compressor valve open for a couple days was bad. hope I don’t leave my truck idling. Quote 98 379 with 12.7 DD LG Dodge w/5.9 CTD Chrome habit I’m trying to kick.

Lance A Lott Posted June 26, 2019 Report Share Posted June 26, 2019 Well it realy wasn't that hard to do, I was doing some work out in the field beyond the truck and it shut of after 5 minutes just like its supposed to. when I walked back by 30 minutes later, like I do several times a day, it was off and I didn't think about it at all. I have been told Volvos have a low voltage protection, it must be so as it took very little time to charge and didn't seem to harm the batterys. When I take it to be reprogrammed I will have them change the idle time. I like to start it several times over the winter and I realy want it to run more than 5 minutes.

HERO Maker Posted June 27, 2019 Report Share Posted June 27, 2019 Sir Lance, just engage your PTO (cruise) and set it a little higher. Truck should stay running.
