High idle
So I just started messing with my high idle. For anyone else that has this. If you drive then stop and park with the truck at idle and turn it on, will it come on right away or does it wait?

It should come on fairly fast if you aren't touching the foot brake.

Which color wire are you using, the charge protect or the high idle for PTO? They do reacts slightly differently. I am using charge protect, as long as it's in park, up fitter 4 is on, and e-brake is on, then it idles up in a few seconds, it never takes as long as 30 seconds. I am thinking PTO idles has a longer delay, but again, foot off the brake, in park, e-brake has to be on for it to work right. If this isn't working, you have the wrong wire in the up fitter bundle, may need to try some testing, make sure you shrink tube and seal off all bare wires when you are done, a bare wire to ground can cause you lots of problems later on.

I use the purple wire with green strip which I think is not the pto wire. It seems off and on maybe it's because the parking break I didn't think it had to be on. Just seems after a drive I can park flip aux 4 and nothing. I'll do some more testing

PTO gradually ramps up. The BCP is usually instant, although for whatever reason their can be a few second delay flipping the switch and when it idles up.
Either way, both need the E-Brake set to initiate the high idle.

Yes, the 03-04 has different set up for high idle, than the 05-07.
