BD High Idle Install Location

Thinking about getting the BD high idle kit with the **** to adjust the rpm.

Would love to see some pics of where others have mounted the **** for a clean look.

Thanks!

I believe I saw a video where someone installed the **** inside the little glove box. Seemed like a good idea - out of the way but yet still accessible. Let’s face it, it’s not like you’ll be fiddling with the **** everyday…

I’d even consider mounting it up underneath the dash completely out of sight and where you won’t accidentally kick it or inadvertently turn the ****.

I agree that is a good spot, however I have a 2way radio mounted in that upper glove box.

Also agree that somewhere out of sight might not be a bad idea either.

Still would like to see what others have come up with.

The **** is also the on/off switch. Unless you want to cycle the ignition. It should be easy to reach, I probably hit mine on and off 40 times a day. Mine is to the left of the steering column on the flat part of the gauge bezel.

Good point, I like that location.

Isn't this the same concept as someone installing a resistor inline somewhere near the passenger foot area?
Thought I saw a few posts about that and they used a up fitter switch to turn off/on the high idle.

Exact same except this is plug n play and adjustable.
