Fast idle switch

Got a question for you guys. I have an '02 F352 7.3 PSD with a throttle by wire system. I would like to install a switch to increase the idle speed while my truck is parked. I work on some very hot equipment and I often leave my AC on while I am working. On very hot days, like we have been having (112 today), I need to take a break every half an hour or so to avoid overheating myself. My cab would be much cooler if the truck idled around 1000 RPM. Any way I could do this?

Thanks in advance
Steve

Ford sells a module that will plug right in your truck for the higher idle. Here's a link I found about it.

Franklin2, Thanks for the info. I will contact Ford next week. That sounds like what I need, if it doesn't cost an arm and a leg.
