2015 high idle?

I'm going to cut right to the chase, when did ford stop having the diesel high idle when it is cold? I have a 2015 350 I bought last August and assumed it would high idle like previous power strokes. I even put a ts6 chip in my 97 just for high idle option to keep the motor warm when idling around our farm. I realize ford probably doesn't want trucks idling long because it kills mpg and isn't good for the emission system but to be honest I could really care less about mpg as long as it's decent and a high idle would help keep emissions pushed through. Is there an option or anyway you can get the 6.7 liter to high idle?

They do have high idle from the factory for cold weather operation. Mine goes up to about 900-1000 rpm vs <600rpm. The outside temp has to be cold enough, somewhere in the 20s. You can add s manually activated high idle if you choose. Go over to the tech folder under the 6.7 diesel section and look for the seic mod.
