permanently disable 30 minute idle timeout

[JBlanco]

lol that's funny. my use case is different. when we're out on offroad recovery missions, and it's cold, i want the vehicle to stay running. some times we're out after dark and using the lights to see. or, we're doing heavy winching and i want to make sure i don't shut it off until i get back home as we can put a serious strain on the battery with heavy pulls.

i don't GAF what the EPA wants. It's my rig and i'll let it run for 3 days if I want to lol!

I had a plug in hybrid Chevrolet 12 years ago and it initially idled until the gas ran out when the battery was depleted. Later an update was programmed allowing it to idle for 30 minutes. The reason wasn't EPA, it was a dumbass that left the car idling inside their garage and died/almost died (I don't remember) from carbon monixide intoxication. The reason was Chevrolet covering their ass due to the stupidity of users.
