a little wrong here. As soon as you lift your foot off the brake, the engine restarts. Instantly. No need for pushing the gas. when it shuts down like say in traffic, it will restart after a couple of minutes to maintain the temperature in the cab on hot days even if your foot is on the brake pedal.


my moms Mercedes does this. it freaked me out the first time I drove it, got to a stop light and it shut off. I thought I broke the car

Go drive one of the T8 volvos. It's spooky. It will switch over to full electric mode when you get within a certain distance of your house. Bizarre.

The auto shutoff can be bypassed by plugging in a third brakelight in the trailer hitch. Probably tricks the computer into thinking there is a trailer behind it to disable that feature. Someone is welcome to chime in if this is incorrect. My info did not come first hand

The starter is built like a brickshithouse to accommodate the starting and stopping sequence. Still not big on it.

The eco diesel is extremely nice. Dodge has come a long way and their leather interior setup looks great.
