can anyone answer this question ?
i've been doing alot of reading about tuners since i would like to buy one.
there is one setting you can have added for a high idle during cold weather . well my truck already does this, it will jump up to about 1100 rpm or so when i first start the truck in the mornings. i thought my truck was stock, i've never done anything to modify it .
so is this a stock option or is it possible, the previous owner made some changes?
thank guys tapit

The high idle is OEM programming. When certain temperature parameters are sensed by the PCM, it activates the high idle for faster warmup. You can get a tune that does it as well so you can control it when the PCM doesn't kick it up. I like it myself.

Like Dan said that high idle is great to spin the A/C, I put it on & by the time I get the horses unsaddled & loaded truck is ready to roll
