Thank you so much, I just purchased a 680 yesterday and I love it!

[@JensenAzotea]

Thank god for this. Called 3 different Kenworth dealerships who couldn’t tell me how to switch from cold to heat

[@AndyTheKenworthGuy]

Glad I could help

[@mrreid5843]

This is great information I’m purchasing a new 2024 T680 and I wanted to know about this

[@GurpreetSingh-yk5yd]

Hey Andy learned a lot from u brother thanks for your videos , you also build trucks for American customers? I live in Cali

[@nazali9408]

thanks because i forgot how to use it lolll but after see this video i remembered how to use it

[@dmfp]

Thanks, ive got the kims coming on the new truck

[@AndyTheKenworthGuy]

nice

[@mlauntube]

Does the system ever start the engine for recharge when it gets low?

[@syedshr-industries2318]

Question here; I have the same exact Kw idle mngt system. When I switch to Heat; it comes with a msg ; Check filter- please guide me through which filter I need to lookup; does it mean to replace?

[@migueleduardosanchez2819]

Hello, I am from Colombia, I do not speak English and I do not understand it either, but I love your content and especially those beautiful trucks and tractors ... Greetings

[@bradleycittel1156]

You just typed some decent English with good punctuation.

[@AndyTheKenworthGuy]

Wow, thank you

[@DLSWV]

Hi Andy. Approximately how many hours of service are expected from the batteries and what is the cost of replacement batteries. Is replacement a DIY project or a dealership job. ? Thanks.

[@MrRock52]

I'm assuming the inverter does not have to be on correct? I'm literally in my truck doing this. It's working just wondering if I need the inverter on.

[@eugeneklemenz]

Thanks for the info looking forward to your net video are you still doing one on Thursday????

[@AndyTheKenworthGuy]

Yes I am!

[@eugeneklemenz]

@@AndyTheKenworthGuy can't wait for the next one I'll have the popcorn 🍿 ready

[@erichaley4485]

My t680 kims unit will run down the battery in ac mode very quickly. So i don't get to use it all night

[@thislovegrowsforyou5388]

mine won't go cold or hot it's just regular fan

[@jamesking5600]

What if mine doesn’t turn on at all how can I turn it on mine is a 2024 t680

[@ethandonker]

Is this available on the 40inch sleeper?

[@jrlinde]

Is there a firmware update for the control panel to allow lower minimum temp setting for heater operation? 70 degrees Fahrenheit is too hot to sleep comfortably.

[@Bendigo1]

Mine goes to 60.

[@El_Ghost0712]

My kw didnt come with this, is this something I can add

[@MRDonPing]

Where are all the fuses related to this system located? My unit doesnt run on any settings. No faults and battery level is full. Any help Please? Thanks

[@jimedmunds123]

Same issue

[@Bodybagbart]

Mine won't turn on at all

[@monssifzar8831]

Quick question please the heater is blowing cold air

[@Bendigo1]

That is a statement, not a question.

[@bodiemcfarland7432]

Does it start the truck automatically when the battery gets low

[@AndyTheKenworthGuy]

Only if ordered with auto start stop

[@KB-gs8zi]

@@AndyTheKenworthGuy Only drawback to this system is when motor starts to charge the batts,, it kicks in the motor fan to wakeup everyone in the neighborhood with the noise at 0300AM !!! HAHA Have a good day/night/whatever !!!! Can't beat a good ""APU"" system !!!

[@GoldPicard]

Sounds kinda similar to what Frieghtliner has with it's Optimized Idle system.

[@oBeYoPtIcZ]

@@KB-gs8zi yeah I got to experience this except on a peterbilt 579 ultraloft it’s really cool when it works.

[@jimedmunds123]

Are you a tech guy? I'm having trouble getting system to start.

[@christianb9565]

Has Kenworth / Paccar come out with extended warranty coverage for the KIMS system yet?

[@kromesupremekstv5479]

After is on in auto does it turn on and off automatically

[@Bendigo1]

Yes.

[@xTheBloodyDeadx]

Is there any update with the video I requested?

[@AndyTheKenworthGuy]

What video?

[@xTheBloodyDeadx]

@@AndyTheKenworthGuy the video that you show us how to build a truck using all the expensive parts you can think of for a total cost, just so I can I get a better idea and prepare for the future. Preferably a w900l with an 86 inch studio sleeper, slit windshield, sun roof, you know that sort of thing, I asked you a while ago and you said you didn’t mind, I’m not trying to rush you or anything, I mean you can take all the time you need, I was just curious on your progress? 😅 that’s all

[@xTheBloodyDeadx]

@@AndyTheKenworthGuy I apologise if I’m coming across rude by the way, I have a dream I want to fulfill and that’s becoming an O/O but no dealer ship will work with me in terms of build my truck to sort out the pricing, so I was just curious if you could help me, that’s all 🙂

[@thunderstruck184]

I'm sure it'll end up garbage just like the adaptive cruise

[@ALEX_SWFL]

What’s the hottest it goes up to

[@jonhart1211]

On mine its 80°F or roughly 27°C

[@kevingumfory]

Save yourself tons of grief and tons of money. Buy a freightliner. Buy a Mack. Buy an old truck and rebuild it. Dont buy a new kw or pb. You have been warned.

[@hakeemporter4777]

Lol facts

[@dewaynedonaldson2486]

We got one of the new gen 680 and it is nothing but problems

[@randygrooms5741]

Seen Many Freightliner and Mack,s Having Issues Also
