@kendelrio i agree, a limit switch tied into the parking brake and something linked/connected to the shifter stick, maybe an adjustable roller arm limit switch. But hey, id like to see an auto start for the 939 series and instal just for S&G.

@kendelrio I was thinking about the manual xmsn issue not having a neutral safety switch. Since you are smarter than i am with electrical. Could using a limit switch that when the shifter is in the N position, the switch is closed, once out of position, it opens the switch.

Ken, the answer to your question, yes a remote start can be installed. If you can find a 24v dc module already on the market, built for mechanical engines. If not premade, maybe using a 12v unit tapped off a battery to energize the initial signal wire on the pcb solenoid/s or a stand alone 24v...

Same as we do on our acft and i do before making a long trip or haul equip. We daily/pmcs/pre-flight in conjunction with the post flt/post-trip at the end of the duty day. All we have to do is wait on a call the next day. I do my pre-trip/pmcs the afternoon/evening before heading out. If i had...

What part is semantic? I’ll ask it again. Who said they wouldnt do a pmcs before driving off just bc of a remote start option? What does doing a pre/post trip have to do with a remote start?

@Weldman Who is saying not doing a pmcs before throwing it in gear and going somewhere? What does doing or not doing a pmcs have to do with remote cranking so air is built and eng fluids are coming up to temp? I too have a cdl as do 10s of 1000s of other people and some dang sure shouldnt...

Wouldnt see what happening? As for no oil psi and running till it doesnt, that supports ndt and weldman’s reply about wanting to watch the gauges after the eng started.

Will the eng shut down timer burn the controller out if the eng doesnt shut down? When ken posted this thread, i tried finding info on older diesels with electrical shut down solenoids. Only issues people were complaining about were glow plug timers not activating, first time failed starts due...

Yes, i understand that. My 936A2 has to be shut down manually bc the solenoid crapped out. Im not understanding what that has to do with starting the tck remotely.

Im still not understanding the issue. How is a manual shutoff an issue with remote start?

What is the problem that exists with the engine stop with the remote starts? Is it by-passing the shut off solenoid when attempting to start, or when trying to shut the engine off?
