High Idle mod

[Mike Hickman]

I like the high idle mod but is there a way to lower the rpm's some or it it set ..
What all the benefits for it.

[heinzboy]

Why would you do a high idle and than try and lower it? I think there is 2 choices as to what rpms you can set it. 1200 rpms and 2000 rpms.The mod is too help keep your truck from wet stacking or so they say, but whats the difference being stuck in traffic for hours?
I do have it on both my trucks though for them early cold morning start ups and what not.

That why I was asking I wasn't sure :frech:
It does sound good for the cold mornnings though , I was thinking you could lower it to about 1000 rpms is all ..

Thanks for the info Heinz ..

one of my friends has it in his DP tuner on a 7.3...it also helps keep the a/c cold in the summer! how hard is it to do on the 6.0?

[heinzboy]

About 10 minutes if you have the upfitter switches.

It can be programmed into the tune on an SCT

[Abrannan19]

well make me a tune with it..I like it...

LoL Abrannan19 make me a tune , / end of story... :D

[Mike Hickman]

Guys I would like to do this mod but have no upfitter switches , whats a GOOD switch to use ? I want no generic.

[banksforddiesel99]

an on/off switch, or any two position switch. Do you have an SCT yet?

[Abrannan19]

he doesnt have an SCT..save up and buy the upfitters..they install in like 5 mins.

[6L strokin]

i dont have upfitter switches either...you just got to tap into a wire or what? and doug, hows it work on the sct? i know they have a "high idle" stock when cold after sitting for 2 mins. and i also know you can change the idle rpms with the handheld, but that would be at high idle all the time, no?

[PSDPlayer]

You can set the idle rpm based on engine oil temp. Have it raise the idle when the oil is cold. The upfitters DO NOT INSTALL IN 5 minutes. You need the switches and the harness. Then you need to snake the harness behind the dash.

It would have been 5 minutes if you would have just put the beer down.

[PSDPlayer]

I would have had it done sooner if you weren't being a little homo about lifting the dash back up.

so....is it hard to add this to my tune...i am in Chicago...it's cold here Doug

[heinzboy]

I can set the idle rpm through my sct.

[Dissociative]

i was wondering about the automatic high idle Doug referred to..huh..huh..huh....refer..

i know my truck automatically raises it when cold to like 800..after 2 min...and i have the PTO switch also....but if SCT has variable RPM control via oil temp..I WANT IT!!

please.....

BTW hienz.....sick list of mods man....you miss anything?

[SAK]

u can run just a positive wire(with fuse) to the orange wire under the dash and call it good. to activate it just put the parking break on.

[Dissociative]

what?...i have the PTO already wired to 12v with a switch...no P-brake needed...

can you tell me what all those extra wires are for on my 2004?

LOL, yeah there is alot missing in my sig.

[SAK]

No idea, sorry.

On my 05 i have a positive wire going to the orange wire and for the high idle to work I have to push the parking break.

you talking about the aux wires on the firewall by the degass bottle?

[Dissociative]

degass....is that slang for my whiskey???


yeah...that group of wires for the service bodied trucks...i have seen the list but it did not work for my 04....4 of them are big and fat and go to underhood and then like 6 of them have black shrink on them...i tapped one for my PTO function....power to it = PTO on...

what do the rest do?....the links i found were all 05^

[heinzboy]

I think there just aux wires.

[Dissociative]

?...i know the 4 that go through the firewall are for aux stuff....the others have a function of some kind i am sure...1 was pto

[heinzboy]

may have to get twinkie boy to post up some diagrams of them wires.

[Dissociative]

man...or a link or something...i am retarded in searching....
