Its a safety feature so you dont pull up in your garage and kill yourself.    Leave the key in the car and it wont quit.

Maybe people should read what they're commenting on before posting useless AND incorrect info.  People shouldn't "guess" at answers to technical questions or questions to which they don't have a clue

My mother in law gave my wife her CRV. She was close to giving up driving anyway. The driving aids sped up the process. The car can be very intrusive and upsetting. Some up the aids can be turned off. The adaptive cruise control can be useful. The most annoying feature is the panic braking. If a car is moving to a turn lane and the painted line is faded. The CRV will panic brake. So you have to ready to tap the gas to override. Otherwise you’re going to get rear ended. All things considered I don’t need any of it. Being a free car I live with it. Can’t wait to see how it all works on a trip.

Well I finally read the LM2 diesel supplement owners manual. 

 

I have idled for extended amount of time. I have not timed it, but I'm sure sure there has been times that its been longer than an hour.

 

There is a 1 line sentence in the supplement manual in regards to Extended Parking. This is good news for us LM2 owners that are used to idling all day.

Put the truck in neutral and apply the parking brake, it’ll keep the truck on for as long as you want it to. I know it’s a bunch of unnecessary steps, but it works wonders for me.

Yep, just found this out myself yesterday. I have a 2021 RST. I was idling with the AC on and the truck shut off after 1 hr. While I agree the truck should shut off when no transmitter is detected, there is absolutely no reason why it should shut off when the transmitter is in the vehicle.

 

I hate the Nanny world we live in.

Yours made it an hour? Mine will shut down in 15 minutes. I'm also irritated it won't let you sit in the truck when its a conformable temp in acc mode for more than 15 minutes.

yep, got me just today, pissed me off! we're in the middle of a heat wave and I was out loading up cargo and tying everything down in the bed while my wife and doggy were in the truck keeping cool with the AC. fun fact, you can't lower the tail gate when the truck isn't in park. neutral, parking brake set, using the manual button on the tailgate itself...nope. no way to lower the gate unless you put it in park. as I was out loading everything up, the stupid thing shut itself down and I had to stop what I was doing to go restart the engine so they don't start cooking in the cabin in 5 minutes time under the sun. Absolutely stupid feature to build into the truck intentionally. imagine if I wasn't just in the back, but rather went inside a store while they were out waiting for me? believe me, if its a store that has rows and rows of power tools, I could easily kill an hour in there while she reads kindle books.

while not ideal, the neutral and parking brake work around will help in that situation. but the tailgate won't lower and the task lights cannot function unless the shifter is in the actual park position. even though its impossible to be driving down the road in N with the parking brake set! so if you need any of those features, the N+Park workaround is too much of a hassle.

Yeah, I found this out the hard way this weekend when my better half arrived back at the truck with bags and asked why the tailgate wouldn't lower. I'm considering the wams method just for this. I just need to figure out if I want to keep this one or get an order for a 2022 with supercruise. I'm really on the fence. Sorry for the offtopic.

I'm sorry your wife isn't allowed to restart your truck and/or she isn't capable of doing it.

She finds restarting it quite difficult when the key is in my pocket.

Even if not is she going to climb over the center console to reach the brake?

SHOCKED!!!    Mine gets 15 min with no key fob, 30 when it's inside the truck.  

 

Absolutely terrible feature.

      Vehicle Payments

      By ChristopherDobson · Posted

      Monthly payment is only part of the equation. With today's prices and interest rates, I'd look at the total monthly cost: payment, insurance, registration, fuel, maintenance, and expected repairs. A vehicle that fits comfortably into your budget is usually the better choice than stretching for a higher trim. I've also kept my vehicles longer over the past few years. New cars have gotten expensive enough that driving one for 10+ years, while staying on top of maintenance, often ends up being the most cost-effective approach.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      10 Ford and Chevy engines proven to reach 300,000 miles   You may note a common 3K OCI on this list of gas motors. I skipped over the diesels. Dh'O.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By jake111 · Posted

      Thanks newdude!  By the time manual selection is needed, I'm probably too much of a control-freak to depend on the transmission sensing braking to activate automatic downshifting.  I would be anticipating the situation and already be manually downshifting.   This truck replaced a 2004.5 LLY diesel with the Allison 5-speed.  Putting it in T/H made noticeable differences (when the torque converter locked, upshift points, downshift behavior).  On this 2024 gasser with the 10L1000 I haven't been able to detect much, if any, difference.  Ok, I can never tell now when the torque converter locks up.  But I also don't notice differences in shifting.  For downhills, I've probably already manually downshifted by then anyway.  Since it's also more awkward (than the 2004.5) to engage/disengage I don't even bother.  Or maybe it doesn't really matter with just a 3k lb. camper in the bed?   Thanks also for the list of reasons the charging system might select various voltages.  However, what I am seeing doesn't fall into any of those categories.  It very definitely, and very consistently, rises after coasting/braking.  Maybe not immediately, but not very long after coasting/braking.  Very consistently drops voltage when no longer coasting/braking.  It might also be interacting with the camper battery charging (I might disconnect the camper and see if it changes the charging behavior).  I also need to recheck turning on headlights for when I want to force it to charge the camper.   Another JR, in June I converted the camper to LiFePO4.  Since it's not a good idea to try to charge lithiums directly using truck, I installed a Victron Orion XS DC-DC charger (which BTW is AMAZING!!).  Being cheap, I only had to buy that one item (besides the battery, of course) to do the conversion.  The camper OEM 120v battery charger (only 19 years old and works perfectly) and the truck feed the input to the DC-DC charger (not at the same time).  But I didn't want the camper charger feeding back to the truck so I kept the old separator.  I considered replacing the separator with a 30amp diode but that means more work and might add another 1/2 volt drop.  One thing that surprised me was the voltage drop over the long 10awg wire run, so I can only charge smoothly at 8 amps (because the DC-DC charger is completely configurable).  Another reason I don't want an added voltage drop with the diode.  I might also be a little lazy but all this work is being done under the sink with a small cabinet opening.

      cam upgrade in CA

      By davester · Posted

      apparently CA smog is (or at least was)  checking that the vehicle is using the oem and/or a ca smog approved tune, so I expect you'll fail inspection doing it.

      Possible lifter tick after DOD delete

      yes, leaking exhaust will mess up o2 sensor readings, which in turn messes up fuel trims.
