High idle kit install - with video
Here is a quick video detailing my install of a BD Performance High Idle kit on my 22 F450.

Well made video.
I've been wondering about this "high idle" business being mentioned on here and elsewhere.
And, IIRC, on my 2012 F250 you could get the high idle using the cruise control, and I've been wondering why these trucks don't have that feature any more.
My RAM Cummins had that feature, although it would only go up to about 1400 rpm, as I recall.

I installed one of these on my 2018 6.7. Easy install and worked perfectly.........but I never actually used it. What are you guys using these for? I have a 2022 6.7 due in next week and wasn't going to install one on my new truck.

It’s bad mojo for these 6.7s to sit around idling at default rpm for extended periods. Stuff like waiting on your wife to exit the store on a hot day, remote starting in the winter time for warmup, stuck in traffic on hot days, pets in vehicle, etc.

Nope, put one in that exact spot on my 2020 F-250 last year. When I traded, I knew just where to put the new one. Same spot!

I went with the Ford outlined method of using a resistor, and chose one to make for a 1200 rpm high idle. Having said that, I also have not actually had a need to use it. I did it incase some day I find myself wanting to, or needing to idle the truck for an extended period. Also, I wanted something to hook up to my upfitter switches haha.

To the OP, great work on the video.

I did it incase some day I find myself wanting to, or needing to idle the truck for an extended period. Also, I wanted something to hook up to my upfitter switches haha.

And, could you use a variable resistor to get adjustability, like a potentiometer???

yes you can as that is basically all the BD Performance kit is….just a nice plug and play version of it.
