The high idle is controlled by the PCM. Engine Oil Temp and Air Inlet Temp are what is used to determine if it is needed. Have you removed the Air Inlet Temp sensor from the filter box? Also is your truck a manual or an auto?

Do you have a manual switch for high idle? (toggle switch, tuner, AIC, PTO, etc.)

In that case... the high idle feature you are talking about is part of the engine warm up sequence. It only activates under certain conditions, generally when it's cold out and the engine hasn't been run for a while.
