Question switch for 10K Mod.

can someone tell me how to hook a switch up for the 10K Mod, or lead me to where it is at on here? I know someone talked about it on here before but I can't find it. It explained how to hook up a switch so you could turn it off at idle. Thanks.

this is what you need, how to do it, and what it does, but it don't tell how to hook up the switch to turn it off when you are at an idle.

When I had mine I got a single pole single throw switch at radio shack and soldered the resistor on one of the leads of the switch then soldered a wire at the other end of the resistor long enough to go from the cab to the IDM. Then on the other lead just a wire the same length. Use an ohm meter to find out what position of the switch is on or off. It does not matter what wire goes where on the "right eye- mouth" of the plug.

yup, like he said, just make the resistor leads longer and bring it into the cab. Better still, get yourself a 0-10k variable resistor and wire a 3.9k to the center post (usually 3 posts). This will give you a 3.9k to 13.9k variable mod. Turn it LOW for more power (worse idle) and turn it high for only mild power (but better idle).

I never made a page how to do the modifications, just the basic "original 10k mod".
