Stick shift PSD 6.4 PTO mode?
I use my truck quite a bit for jump starting junk cars to get them up on the car hauler, or on rare occasion I have to jump my big truck as it usually sits for long durations of time. On the small cars it does fine with having the duel alternators and duel batteries; however when I try to jump my rig it takes at least 45min to an hour. I'd really like to hook up the high idle mod to my truck, but I wasn't sure if I'd run into a problem with my truck having a 6 speed stick. I'd appreciate an answer at your earliest conveniences. Thanks a bunch.

Pto
Don't see why high idle would be any different on a stick. It uses the power take off electrical system. The wiring diagram doesn't show any difference between the auto and manual

The Econolines have a different color, but the trucks are yellow/green for both gas and diesel.

Something with the 08's and 09's with the heavy duty or dual alternators is it only revs up to 900 instead of 1200 when hooking up to the BCP wire. I thought I hooked to the wrong wire, but I seen others had the same problem on their trucks. I am going to add a 10k resistor and see what that puts me at.

When I first hooked mine up in July I used the BCP wire and upfitter switch #3 and it would only idle up to 900 also. I thought the same as you about possibly hooking up the wrong wire until about a month ago I fired up the truck when it was about 30 degrees F out and flipped the switch and it idled up to 1200 just like my 6.0 did all the time. So I don't know what was different other than the outside temps. Mine also has the heavy duty alternator. Would like to hear some opions or answers if anyone has any... Thanks Steve

You will find that the engine will increase idle in this mode depending on the load. With travel trailer connected, increase the demand on the electrical system by powering the electric jacks, or the push-outs -- watch the RPM's respond accordingly to meet demand.
