Newbie Question
While i am not new to cars, this is my first Diesel. In my 96 powerstroke 250, i have what i would call a module. It is mounted on the passenger side of the 5spd shifter. It has a a digital readout of the engines rpms, and has several buttons. An RPM control button, a Charge protect button, and ford logo shaped button with ford in it, all across the top, and 4 buttons on the ride side, all featuring arrows. What is the purpose of it is my question. What would i use it for? Any answers would be greatly appreciated.
TIA

It is also used for extended idling. You raise the rpm to maintain an egt of 275* pre turbo to prevent wet stacking. It is also used to keep the a/c cold by elevating idle which keeps the fan pulling air through the condensor.
