If you've been looking for an excuse to chip your truck, this is it.
the php hydra chip has 14 different "slots" for switch-on-the-fly tunes. It comes with access to a bunch of tunes, including multiple idle speed tunes. I personally have a 1200rpm idle position on mine for faster warm up in the winter. The increased idle tunes go from 900rpm up to 2000rpm if I remember correctly.
the chip will set you back about $350, but it is well worth it. You'll have multiple idles speeds at the push of a button and more power as a bonus. Just make sure to put it back to either a 25hp tune or stock if you're going to be towing without at least an egt gauge.

me either Cab👍...Now, does the go pedal work like the float in the fuel tank or is it something that, you can "trick" the gains produced by way of tapping into the correct wire and using a potentiometer..(whatever its called)

PM me if you still want one.
I got one out of an 01 but I am uncertain about the harness connections. There is one round 4-wire connector and another leg of the harness with some blunt-cut wires.

It's in the marketplace.
The .pdf is available here and says what all of the blunt-cut wires are for.

That is because Cleatus12r has the fancier (actually, the fanciest) of the three different versions of Auxiliary Powertrain Control Modules (APCM) idle control boxes that Ford made for the 7.3L.
There is an extra "PTO CONTROL" button on the fanciest version of APCM that allows it to control the aftermarket equipment. That button is on the left hand side of the APCM.
The APCM that Cleatus12r has in the marketplace is identical to this new in box one shown in the photo immediately below that I ordered as original equipment on a 2003 F-550 (7.3L), so Cody I believe you can expand the model years covered in your listing to 2003 (7.3L).
On the other hand, the APCM that I have in my older 2000 F-550 is the original version, without that extra button, and without as many extra wires. (Disassembled, painted to match, reassembled)
There is a third version of the APCM that has even fewer buttons and less functionality. I don't have any photos of this bargain basement version, but I saw many of them on E-Series cutaway based airport transport busses back in the days when I flew four days a week. I doubt many passengers on those busses noticed that the APCM had fewer buttons... which was a good sign of their stable mental health. Not such a good sign for me, however.
