is it possible to by pass our clutch safeties without ******* off our computers. I couldn't find any articles about this for psd trucks. I only found guys who unplugged and jumped idi switches.
it would be nice to be able to lean into the truck, turn the key and start it w/o needing to climb in and press the clutch. especially while tinkering under the hood.

Computer couldn't care less about the clutch switch.
Jumper the two wires closest to the firewall. Should be red/blue.

make sure you wiggle the shifter before you start it!

I always use the parking brake and practically never leave my truck in gear.
Only certain circumstances like adjusting my brakes or something.
