high idle switch

Would it be possible to add a high idle switch to the 6.8? Some how make it idle at 2-3k with an upfitter switch.

thanks

I remember seeing a few posts about using the upfitter switch for this purpose, seems to be easy considering most '05 and up trucks have provision for PTO use.
I would like to do this to my truck also. I haul hotshot freight and would like to get into a comfortable truck after being outside in the cold/hot for an hour or so after loading/unloading. The idle only needs to be about 1200 rpm to keep the a/c or heat operating properly.
