Barcin Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 Hi Everyone, New to the forum. I recently purchased a 2015 CXU 613, with MDrive. For my application (Transfer Dump Truck) we connect the trailer by turning the truck off in while in reverse and with a switch in the back we activate the starter and the truck rolls back so we can connect the tongue of the trailer. Note, the truck does not start as we first hit a kill switch. (For clarification, check out this link, starting at the 13:50 mark. ) Is there a way to overwrite the MDrive so when I turn off the truck, I can keep it in reverse?

Maxidyne Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 Sounds like yet another application that Volvo's automated manual can't do... Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/58499-mdrive-leave-it-in-gear-while-off/#findComment-429576 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barcin Posted August 7, 2019 Author Share Posted August 7, 2019 I have heard it can be done. But those grape vine stories are to be taken with a grain of salt, i suppose.
