Worth noting the 2017+ SDs will automatically high idle when needed based on temperature. But I get that some people like to be able to force high idle.

Yep, seems like Ford has the bases covered for low temps. I use mine when running heavy DC loads and operating my winch.

yep..

did the same

set it at 1000 for routine idle..

but..if I want to run my 4k inverter…2k rpm

I finally did this to my truck.

Resistor between PTO RPM and PTO VREF
provide power/upfitter to PTO1

Parking brake on, flip upfitter 2 and it ramps up to ~1200 RPM. Runs really smooth.

I’ve installed this with about 1500RPM set. Are there any discussions out there about starting the engine in cold temps with that high of RPM? I’m learning and I’m under the impression that oil isn’t pumped in the right places until several seconds after starting. Again, I'm brand new to the diesel world and watched a video from Dave’s Auto Center and was curious about a high RMP immediately after starting. Love the kit though. Works like a charm and heats up the cabin much faster.

thanks for any info.

Main thing is to review oil chart and have the right oil for the temp range you are operating in.

theres oil in the pathways from previous starts so the engine is now dry starting.

good oil that is not fuel contaminated sticks to metal well.

i got the diesel kit which has a dial so you can set any rpm in the idle kit range. So I can start at normal rpm and dial it up to where I want it .


i run 5w40 during cold months . If i was in the attic I would run 0w40.

A lot of folks run 10w30 which is good to 0 degrees.

wind chill doesn’t count.

There is no vref or rpm so I’m not sure. Pic for reference of what I’m talking about



It's behind the glove box way up high against the side wall. Looks like this. You'll have to do some digging and have a flashlight for sure.

On my 2019, the pro cable comes out and the high idle kit cable goes in.

I succeeded, the car can continue to idle after shifting into P gear. It no longer takes 30 minutes to start the car!
