Variable High Idle Mod

Hey guys,

I'm looking to do a high idle mod on my truck, but want to add a resistor with a linear taper potentiometer so that I'm able to manually vary the rpm's.

I have the upfitter switches on my truck, and have found instructions for how to wire the resistor and potentiometer in a 6.7L but not on a 6.0L. I can find the regular high idle mod instructions, but no detailed instructions for the 6.0L.

Are there pictures or detailed instructions on how to install the variable high idle with a resistor on 2005-07 6.0L with upfitter's?

I've come across all those. I'm specifically looking for directions on which wires to attach a resistor and a potentiometer to so that I can adjust the idle. I've found instructions and pictures for the 2011 6.7L but not for the 2005-2007 6.0L.

Read the post I linked to and look for High Idle
The one you want to look at is the PTO RPM speed resistor.
