Auxilliary Idle Control??

This one says its for the E series VANS. I'm thinking it will fit and plug into MY LATE '99 7.3 F-350 and the bracket most likely won't fit.

I'm ok with that as I will probably install it with HD Velcro anyway....

(Having trouble getting the link to post-part number is F5UF-12B641-AC)

There's one for an F-series in the marketplace from about a month or so ago.

I think so. Mine has it. It was a convenient place to tap into for gauges.

(From the owner's manual) it can:

- Maintain battery charge
- Elevate engine speed for increased power output at idle
- Power up an auxiliary PTO with optional upper and lower speed limits
- Control engine speed from a remote location on the vehicle
- elevate idle speed or maintain charge automatically, without additional driver input

Electronic copy of the AICM/APCM owner's manual for casual perusal: http://dieselinnovations.com/techfiles/aic_manual1.pdf

I used to have one. Loved it. Used it for high idling during snowplowing or if you are trying to jump somebody. I sold it and kick myself for doing that.
