OK I ain't heard NOTHING about them in yrs. But back in the mid-late 90's Detroit had a system for the 60 Series that would start and run the engine automatically if it was set to keep the cab a certain temperature inside, or if the batteries got to low.

I don't remember for sure, but I want to day they called it "Pro-start" or something like that! (I don't recall, never was impressed enough to buy one myself.)

I do remember several eerie experiences walking thru a truck stop parking lot on the way to my truck and having trucks start while walking by with nobody in them!

For some reason they musta not worked out to well as you never hear of them anymore!

That may have been what it was. But if I recall it wasn't just available in a freightshaker back then. (I know one guy that had it in a W900L)
