Factory Idle up????
My 2019 F350 6.7 liter idles up on its own at 1000 rpm when its in the 20s any body else do that too? The truck is stock I bought it off the lot brand new. It has remote start, but when you remote start it, it idles normally. The truck has to be started normally in order for it to work, is what I am getting at.

Would be good to know the why though...

My '19 does it also. It was only 15 today, it idled up in the driveway but then I drove it for about 5 miles, hopped out to get a coffee and it idled up again as soon as I put it in park. My the time I got to work, driving for 30 minutes, it was idling normal.

I am not complaining about it I was just wondering on whether to install aftermarket high idle switch. If the feature is already built into the truck from factory. I am to assume I don't at this point f it does it on its own.

x2, I got the switch so I can control it and also make it idle higher than 900-1,000 if need be.

My 2019 does too, even with remote start. Of course, it's been 8 - 10 degrees F each morning here this week.

Awe ok, I’m installing the 1,200rpm high idle this evening as though the truck does idle up on its own to 1,000rpm, it’s not consistent or predictable.

I was just about to ask the same thing. Ram includes it, Chevy charges you $200 for the feature, which is a bit ridiculous since it's just turning a function on in the software.

Chevy and Ram both integrate it into the cruise control buttons, no need to wire anything in.

Ford will kick up the idle based on ambient temp and operating temps to stop wet stacking. At about 15 and below, mine will idle up to about 1,100 RPM when cold.
I added the BD Diesel high idle kit, and set the high idle to about 1,400 RPM

When a diesel engine is operated on light loads, it will not attain its correct operating temperature. When the diesel engine runs below its designed operating temperature for extended periods, unburned fuel is exhausted and noticed as wetness in the exhaust system, hence the phrase “wet stacking.”
