*EDIT*   I just found a thread on this and got my answers.    

 

 

I drive a 20 1500 RST and I tried to keep it running with the heat on while not in it.  I've found that if you start your engine from the switch (not talking about remote start) it will only idle 30 minutes at then shuts off.  This has happened twice now.

 

I have not parked it at my department or accident scene yet running for more than the 30 minutes to know if it will shut down after driving it after a start.  I think I've been sitting stationary in it for around that time, but really can't recall.  I'm wondering if you shift to drive then park its different and will stay idle?

 

1.  Is there a sensor in the seat telling the truck if there is someone in it to keep it idling for more than thirty?

 

2.  Is there a way to disable this feature so that I can keep it idling with the heat on.

It'll turn off regardless. I used to work at a Chevrolet dealership and sometimes we would leave the trucks running to play music on during events and they would turn off after 30 minutes of idling. There's no way to disable it unless you get a custom map for the computer.

Yeah no need for replies here.  I just finally found the 12 page  thread on here all about it.  

 

Pretty pissed off right now.

Lots of municipalities have enacted green laws to curb vehicle idling and that's why this exists.

These guys complained and argued about it for 12 pages:

 

 

I'm not sure if anyone reported back about putting on the parking brake and leaving it in neutral.  Best of luck.

I seen something about being able to hold the break and gas paddle on the floor as you start it , Might turn this feature off.  I think is was on a thread about the dealer procedure to run the trucks so many hours sitting still non stop to check for the Valve spring issue.

I have a Chevy Silverado 2020 3500. I'm moving to Alaska and need to figure out how to bypass or remove this option. I will need to run my truck in idle for longs periods of time in the winter. Plugging it in will only help so much, it will need to run for at least an hour or more without my interaction.

      It was never mandated.  Ever.    Automakers were incentivized to install it by getting CAFE credits to help with their vehicle fleet fuel economy scores.  They were being handed money/CAFE credits to install it.  Which is NOT a mandate.       The current admin removed the incentives that were behind them installing it.

      5 Best Slide Down Gameplay Tips! 

      By lanaderay · Posted

      Are you playing Slide Down endlessly but your score is still low? Are you constantly crashing into obstacles as the game speed increases? Don't worry, this article will share 5 invaluable tips to help you master the race and impress your friends. Golden Rules 1. Look one step further. The mistake of 90% of new players is only staring at their character. The secret of experts is to look towards the top of the screen (where the slide is about to appear). This gives your brain an extra 0.5 - 1 second to process the situation and determine the direction of movement before the obstacle approaches. 2. Use gentle movements; don't swipe too hard. Slide Down is very sensitive. Moving your finger too forcefully or with excessive amplitude will cause your character to be thrown off course or crash into a wall. Practise moving your finger with small, decisive, and precise movements. 3. Don't be greedy for gold in dangerous locations. Gold coins are tempting for buying skins, but life is more important. If you see a gold coin right on the edge of a cliff or next to a spike trap, ignore it. Our goal is a High Score, and your score only increases if you survive. 4. Make the most of Power-ups. During the slide, you'll encounter items like Magnets (attract gold) or Shields (temporary invincibility). Never miss them! Especially the Shield, it's your "get out of jail free card" to help you get through those deadly fast sections. 5. Stay calm when speed peaks. When your score exceeds 500 or 1000, the game speed will be very fast. At this point, don't try to think logically; let your natural reflexes work. Take deep breaths and don't panic. Apply these 5 tips to your next game, and your leaderboard will surely improve dramatically. Good luck climbing the Slide Down leaderboard!

      Why I Recommend a Desiccant Air Dryer for Cleaner, Drier Compressed Air

      By lingyuair · Posted

      If you use compressed air regularly, one problem you cannot ignore is moisture. Water in the air line can cause rust, unstable air pressure, poor tool performance, and even damage to sensitive equipment. That is why I highly recommend using a desiccant air dryer. A desiccant air dryer is designed to remove moisture from compressed air by using drying materials such as activated alumina or molecular sieve. Compared with basic water separators, it can achieve much lower dew points, making it especially useful for applications that require dry and stable air. For workshops, painting systems, pneumatic tools, CNC machines, laser cutting equipment, and industrial production lines, a desiccant air dryer can make a big difference. It helps protect equipment, improve air quality, reduce maintenance costs, and extend the service life of the whole compressed air system. Another advantage is reliability. Many desiccant air dryers are built for continuous operation and can maintain stable drying performance even in demanding environments. For users who care about long-term efficiency and equipment protection, this is a smart investment. When choosing a desiccant air dryer, I suggest paying attention to air flow capacity, working pressure, dew point performance, regeneration method, and maintenance requirements. A good model should match your compressor system and actual air consumption. Overall, if moisture is causing problems in your compressed air system, a desiccant air dryer is definitely worth considering. It is practical, efficient, and highly useful for anyone who needs clean, dry, and reliable compressed air.

      My brand new 2007 Silverado's wax frame was rust from end to end partway through it's SECOND winter here in MA. That stuff is completely useless.

      I went another direction after losing a trailer tire, thanks to not being able to access air at ANY of the 5 gas stations and garages I stopped at prior, with a Toyota Tacoma onboard, 50 miles from the Canadian border. They were either out of order, access was blocked, or the hose a few feet too short and I couldn't get any closer without risking damage to someone's property.   https://postimg.cc/gallery/X5QJ55w
