Need help from a truck mechanic.

Need help from a truck mechanic.
I have an 08 Freightliner Columbia with a C-13 ACERT. The engine brake only engauges with the brake pedal. I know it can be programed to work off the accelerator. Can this be done by me or does it have to be done through the comm link? Thanks in advance for any help.

Thanks for the reply. I was afraid that was the case. Don't understand the logic of an engine brake designed to save your service brakes only being energized if you apply the brakes. I'm sure this rig will see the inside of a cat dealer sooner than later.

Who did you buy the truck from? If they are a cat dealer, I'd try to go make a deal with the service manager.

RE: Need help from a truck mechanic.
I just received a memo that they are bringing all the units in to have the idle limiter installed. That will probably be my chance to get it switched. There are only 5 units in our fleet. The main plant in Cleveland has maybe 12. I've had to deal with their mechanics in the past and came to the conclusion that you are better off limping the rig to the highway and calling national breakdown.
