High Idle

I am wondering if there is some type of high idle mod that we can do on these trucks and how hard is it?

Thanks,

Another option for high idle, if you'll be getting a chip, is to have DP-tuner or whomever supplies your tunes to write one of them as a high idle tune. Flip to it and the RPM raises to 1100 (or whatever you ask them for, I suppose... dp uses 1100 by default).

Yes you can specify what High Idle RPM you want from DP, I kept mine at 1100 just because it is enough of Idle that the charging system will work much better, if you are running a PTO or something similar you might want to go a little higher, or with the DP you can simly get more than one High Idle tune to suit your needs. What is the reasoning for the high idle? A/C?

I run an air compressor off the engine that I use for my new mobile repair service.

Just for ease of use, I highly recommend the DP F5, loaded with a couple high idle tunes and a 40tow, maybe 80econ, then you'll be all set in the power department as well.
